StainTime

Wood stain or polyurethane drying time on the can assumes 70°F and 50% humidity. Your garage isn't 70°F. Your basement isn't 50% humidity. StainTime adjusts dry-to-touch, recoat, and full chemical cure times based on your actual workshop conditions and today's weather. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your finish (stain, polyurethane, shellac, lacquer) and brand. 2. StainTime checks your local temperature and humidity, plus your workshop type (heated indoor, garage, outdoor carport). 3. You get an Apply Score, dry-to-touch time, recoat window, and full cure date. It takes 10 seconds to set up. No account required. DAILY APPLY SCORE A green, yellow, or red zone tells you whether to apply now, work with caution, or wait for better conditions. DRY AND RECOAT TIMING Each coat's dry-to-touch and recoat-ready times are calculated from manufacturer Technical Data Sheets, then adjusted for ambient temperature (Arrhenius reaction rate) and humidity (solvent-specific multipliers). WEATHER-AWARE Open-Meteo provides current local conditions. Cached data is used when offline so you can still check timing without a connection. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro for deeper insights: - 7-day finish-readiness outlook to plan multi-coat projects - Multiple active projects tracked at once - Recoat-ready push notifications - All brands: Rust-Oleum, Cabot, DuraSeal, ZAR, Olympic, Behr, Ready Seal, Thompson's WaterSeal, Bona - All finish types: shellac, lacquer, Danish oil, gel stain, varnish - Project log with notes - Custom workshop temperature and humidity offset PRIVACY FIRST All your projects are stored locally on your device. No account, no tracking, no data sold. Location is used only to fetch weather from Open-Meteo and is never stored on any server. This app provides timing estimates based on manufacturer Technical Data Sheets and ambient conditions. It is not a substitute for product-label instructions, scrap-wood testing, or experienced finisher guidance. Results vary by brand, application method, airflow, and surface preparation.
