Gene Function in Eukaryotes The recombinant DNA techniques discussed in the preceding sections provide powerful approaches to the isolation and detailed characterization of the genes of eukaryotic cells.
It took a couple of hours and I let it dry for almost 2 days. The reason for the extra dry day was due to all the rain we had prior to cleaning. The deck without much stain for protection had a lot of moisture absorbed already prior to cleaning. One other thing, I used a Toro Leaf Blower to clear off the spinners and loose debris prior to washing.
To achieve a darker stain color, use coarser grit of sandpaper (#150-#180) on the last sanding you do prior to staining. This will help the wood absorb more color. You can also leave the wet stain on the wood for longer before you wipe away the excess - sometimes as long as 15 minutes. This may help you achieve a deeper color. Note: check the label directions for the particular stain you're using to see the maximum time you can wait before wiping off the excess stain.
