I have a composite deck with cedar handrail and spindles. The can said you can apply between 50-90 degrees. It was 90 degrees so I took the handrail off and applied the stain in my garage to get out of the hot sun. My problem is that it doesn't seem to be getting dry.  3 days now. I have since put it my basement in the air conditioning. I went to your website and it says it should be applied at 80 degrees or the wood  would "flash" (dry quickly on the surface and not soak in). What should I do next?

It needs to be outside to properly cure and dry. Put it out there, and hopefully, it will all be good in a day or two.
