How long to dry wood before paint?
I have pressure treated that I am going to solid stain. It was very wet.
How long should it take to dry before It can be painted with solid stain? I am SoCal and summers are dry and hot. thx |

I am SoCal and summers are dry and hot. thx Different stain manufacturers recommend different waiting periods. It varies from 30-60 days to as long as six months. Most manufacturers recommend using an oil or latex semi-transparent stain. Check the instructions on the can of the product you intend to use.

I have used water based heavy bodied Cabot stain on really wet pressure
treated wood with no negative result. The label calls for waiting six months. I did a rural mailbox post from Home Depot six years ago and it still looks fine. |
