1 To keep fresh celery, carrots and radishes around at all times, chop them and store them in water in the fridge, which keeps them crisp for a surprisingly long time. 2  Prevent mushrooms from getting slimy by wrapping them in paper towels before refrigerating.
1 A good temperature range for staining is 50 to 90 degrees F--if wood is too hot to leave your hand on comfortably, then it's too hot to stain. 2  Pay attention to humidity too--the higher the humidity, the longer the drying time. Then start staining again in the afternoon when the sun is lower, staining 2 or 3 boards at a time their entire width. 2  A good temperature range for staining is 50 to 90 degrees F--if wood is too hot to leave your hand on comfortably, then it's too hot to stain.
The temperature of the wood before you apply the coating is important. If the wood is at least 50` you should be ok. You should also quit early in the afternoon so the stain has more time to dry before the dew hits.I'd be leery of staining a deck in cool weather 24 hrs before rain is expected.f the wood is at least 50` you should be ok.
