I just realized I stained my wood patio furniture with interior stain... what now?

Question

I stained the furniture with Minwax oil based stain in a dark jacobean color. I haven't finished it with poly...yet. Everything is covered in case it rains tonight...

Answer 1

The first reply is correct, make sure it protects against UV.

The stain is just for color. Your good!

Answer 2

after it dries put outside stain on it

Answer 3

Get a good exterior urethane or clear coat that has uv inhibtors in it.  Put 2-3 coats minimum on it and it should be fine.
