Question
I am trying to keep oil stain from weeping from the open grain on oak while keeping the drying oven for the seal coat at 120 degrees. The stain dries for nearly 2 hours before being put on the finish line. It is not a serious weeping problem, but it warrants a solution. Any suggestions?

From contributor C:
Two solutions. One: high impingement air on the pieces after they receive the stain, instead of just low air movement ambient air, as you're most likely doing now. Two: add 2-3% dryer to the stain if it is of the boiled linseed oil type or alkyd oil type.
