Ready Seal

How much time must elapse after Ready Seal is applied to a wood deck before it can get wet?

Not sure. The technical data sheet should be on the website and should tell you. Perhaps someone who uses it will chime in.

Depends on which type of wood had been sealed and how much cup is in the wood. Best to get over there and push the water off when the rain stops. If it rains within like 4 hours get over there and push the water off. Hardwoods are more of a pain than softwood . If water is left to puddle a modeling effect happens.

We have had a bout of rain in these parts and I haven't been able to stain the deck I cleaned over two weeks ago

and needless to say my customer is getting inpatient. 

 

 

I appreciate the thoughtful input

Ummmm....you shouldn't be sealing with puddles on the wood anyway.

Ready Seal can get wet after about fifteen minutes of application without much going to happen to it. Like Jim has mentioned, standing water on fresh sealer can be problematic, But truely, if RS doesn't have an oily sheen on the surface, then it usually won't be a problem. Watch for things like flag-stone or pavers or concrete underneath. Fresh sealer can be rinsed off the wood and land on things below. Again, if the sealer has had a short time to sink into the wood, then nothing should be effected.
