No numeric air or surface temperature or rain-free interval is published in the linked manufacturer directions. Keep the stripper wet while it works, then rinse. Before applying a finish, dry the wood for 48 hours or reach moisture of 18% or less. That condition concerns the later finish, not permission to apply stripper.

Manufacturer guidance Reviewed 2026-10-24 · CA

Check the air, the actual surface, overnight conditions and the full drying or curing period. The current product label takes precedence.
