Stain is sticky on my cabinets.

Joy asked 10 years ago

I stained my kitchen cabinets by applying three coats. The last one I did not wipe off because I liked it dark. It has been two days and they remain very sticky. How do I fix it?

Allow several more days for the stain to dry. The last coat or application reactivated the previous coats. Now everything is either very soft or sticky. Drying will take time depending on the temperature and humidity. Having some air movement and open windows will help a little.
