If you are working outside ideal conditions, be cautious about dry time. Do not re-coat until you are sure the stain is completely dry.Other factors are 1) the surface you are applying to and 2) the application method. On denser surfaces, such as an existing finish, the dry time will be longer. A "painted" finish is thicker, and will take longer to dry, than one that is wiped down or dry brushed. Prepping will affect this process - if there is wax on the surface, the finish may never adhere. And if Pledge has ever been used on a piece, there is silicone contamination, which is VERY difficult to remove.
