Q: Do you have to sand after spackling?

• <div><p>Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.</p></div>

Q: What happens if an oil-based stain gets wet?

• <div><p>Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn&rsquo;t cause you any problems.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when it’s time to restain my deck?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it&rsquo;s become especially difficult to clean. As for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-you-stain-your-deck.htm">how often to stain a deck</a>, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage. </p></div>

Q: How long does stain take to dry?

• <div><p>While most stains will be dry to the touch within 12 hours, it can take up to 48 hours to fully cure. That means that while your stain might not be sticky within 12 hours, it&rsquo;s still not recommended to get it wet or touch it until it&rsquo;s had a chance to set for at least 24 to 48 hours.</p></div>

Q: Should I stain the deck in the morning or afternoon?

• <div><p>Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you&rsquo;re staining the deck during hotter months, it&rsquo;s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you&rsquo;re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won&rsquo;t make as much of a difference.</p></div>
