Im looking to apply oil based stain on Friday but worried it might not be enough time to cure properly. Here is a screenshot of my weather forecast for next few days.
If I apply on Friday at 5pm then I have overnight + Sat sunny day then it rains on Sunday night.
Do you think this is enough time ?
Thanks

What does the instructions on your chosen stain say?

Quoting: jsahara24 What does the instructions on your chosen stain say?
Says: "Allow 1st coat to thoroughly dry for 24 hours (possibly longer in cold and/or humid weather) before applying additional coat."

So its ok even if it rains after first full day ? It should adhere properly ?

I wouldn't do it. It's not just one day of rain is 3.
Also what oil based stain says to apply more than 1 coat? Typicaly your trying to get as much stain soaked into the wood as possible so a second coat isnt needed. How old is the wood it's being applied to?

These are new logs.
Also temps supposed to drop to 37 overnight by 6am so I worry about frost too. It will be sometime but still dont like the fact that will drop so low and rain coming after

Oil stain has solvents in it. It will dry whether or not the conditions are perfect. It's a chemical process, not a natural one.
Go for it.
