Minwax, and many others, have changed their formulas to satisfy the
latest VOC requierments, so most will take much longer to dry than
what their instructions say. After staining with an oil stain, you
should allow it to dry for at least 4 days (with normal temps and
humidity), before topcoating. A week of drying is best, because you
can never be sure of how thick you may have applied it and/or how deep
it penetrated.

I would wipe it down with naptha, allow to dry (at least until
Saturday afternoon), then coat with shellac (Sealcoat). If your wipe-
down lightened the color too much, tone the shellac.
