I initially brushed the stain on and got it on a bit too heavy. I also flipped the boards over after it felt non-tacky, and where it was in contact with the saw horses I used, it couldn't evaporate. The air temps were generally above 60 when painting, and above 50 overnight, but I imagine warmer temps would have caused it to dry faster. I wound up sanding some of the soft spots off and then went to spraying instead of brushing. I needed to wait a couple days before doing the opposite side of the boards. I eventually put three coats on each side, one brushed, and two sprayed. While spraying, it made my eyes burn just a bit, so I made sure I had good ventilation. It wasn't bad while drying, but I had plenty of air leakage into the tent is was using.
I'm expecting it to last pretty well. Maybe hoping is a better word.
