Between coats of varnish, let the first coat of varnish harden or dry, as recommended by the manufacturer. Some two-coat varnishes should be applied 10 to 15 hours from the time the first coat was applied, but in general it's best to wait at least 24 hours -- longer, if possible.
Some thick stains, which penetrate the wood and form a seal, are dry on the top in a matter of hours. Thinner, non-penetrative stains can take weeks to fully dry against the wood. Drying times are also affected by humidity, the amount of stain applied to the wood and whether there is any rain during this period. In general, for a penetrative stain, allow one to two says drying time, and then test. For a non-penetrative stain, leave for a week or more before applying a second coat. Latex stains will probably take even longer, maybe even two or three weeks.
