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.
A one month minimum dry time is recommended. That said, I'd wait as long as the painting season permits. If you have three months before it will get cold down there, then wait until then. It's important to have three good, consecutive dry days before applying the stain when ultimately decide to do it. And two-coat everything with a quality stain.
