Some decks require sealing/ staining every 4 to 5 years. Some decks with full exposure to the sun may need to be resealed/ re-stained every 18 months. How long do I have to wait after power washing my deck to be able to stain/ seal it? Around 48 hours of dry weather is needed for the deck to properly dry out correctly. The last time I had my deck done, they sprayed sealer all over my vinyl siding and sliding door.
Usually it's 24 hours. 24 hours and you can walk lightly on it. a week and it is ready for just about anything. By 28 days it is considered fully cured but it will continue to harden for some time. Depending on how it is sealed, the sealing fluid may take several days to full dry depending on how thick it is.
