A: We're happy to clear things up, Roger. Once Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain has fully cured for at least 3 days it will no longer off gas any harmful fumes. Be sure to remove all excess stain after allowing it to penetrate for a few minutes, this ensures there is no tacky excess stain on the surface.
