Is there a product I can use to speed up the drying of the stain I put on my porch a week ago?
It is Behr’s Redwood Translucent Stain – first coat went on by brush, second coat went on with roller. Still sticky to touch, shoes make dirty imprints on newly stained area. How can I dry out the stain. We still have sunny days in the 70s or 80s.

Behr paint takes forever to dry and cure its very good paint but very thick if you dont thin it down a little. not to many ideas but maybe a hairdrier or space heater to the areas where your walking
You can try Japan Drier from Lowes or Depot in a small area but after a few days that stain should have set up ALOT. Has there been excess moisture in the air or high humidity? If so you can thin it and then after that dries thin the sealer or stain and do it
again for your final coat
