In general, interior stains require an average of between 6 and 24 hours to dry, while exterior stains take between 24 and 72 hours.
How long should interior stain dry?
While conventional stains recommend 18 to 24 hours drying time, Minwax® Performance Series Tintable Interior Wood Stain can be recoated in just 2 hours with oil based finishes and 6 hours with water based finishes. That means you can apply stain and two topcoats in a single day without sacrificing varnish clarity.
How long do you let stain sit before wiping it off?
Wipe the stain off immediately if you’d like a lighter tone. But for a deeper tone, leave the stain on the wood for 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. Be sure to wipe off all the excess stain going in the direction of the grain of the wood.
