Something strange is happening with the my staining process..
I've almost completed the staining on one of my bass drum hoops and most of it has dried quickly to the touch. The other is fully dried, although i haven't done the edges yet.. 4 days ago, i started the edges of one hoop and for some reason, this time around they haven't dried or cured fully. It's dry, but slightly sticky to the touch. The temperature in my home has been the same, and as a matter of fact, has even drier conditions than the first time i started staining.
I kept them hanging in my gear room with door open, with the edges fully exposed for drying. I've now put them on my backyard balcony, in the shade and away from the sun. Conditions today are perfect, with sunny skies and dry, fresh air. Has anyone experienced this long for drying time with stains before, and if so, is there anything else i can
do to speed up the drying process ?
