Stain is still tacky after 24 hours

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Feb 01, 2016oil based or water based? How humid is the area, what's the temps? properly mixed? how old is the can / exposed to freezing? The ranges given on a can are for set environmental factors - it can take less time or longer to cure. My guess is you have an oil based product which can take 72 hours to cureHelpful Reply
