Solution: In this question, we are given of all the reactants and product, so we need to find the total first through the formula. = -32.89 - (2*0 + 209.2) =-242.1 (Be careful about significant figures).
Depending on the stain technique it can take anywhere from 2 to  24-hours for the stain to dry. For cabinets, you should wait the  entire 24-hours to make sure the stain is â¦not still tacky and to  prevent smudges on the finish.
I'm curious how long it takes for stain to dry before applying a wipe on finish. Yesterday I stained a white oak desktop with General Finishes Gel stain; the instructions on the can recommended 6-8 hrs dry time in good conditions. I let the stain dry 7-1/2 hours, and the temp was in the mid-60's.
