Dry time for mineral spirits?

[Matt Schnurbusch]

Hopefully someone see this soon...

I am ready to stain DAS BOOTH!!!

I just wiped the whole thing down with MS and I know I need to let it flash off, but how long should I wait?

I am using General Finishes Gel Stain if that makes a difference.

A lot will depend on how saturated you got it. But generally 30 minutes should be more than adequate. You will be able to see the color change from a wet look back to dry. When it's all dry you're good to go.

Thanks Dave,

It already looks good and dry, but there were some spots that I got a little wetter, so I'll give it another hour just to be sure. I have too much time invested in this thing to have something like this mess it up now.
