I do a lot of stain work and I would wait three to four weeks if possible to stain after purchase. Keep in a dry, weather proof area if possible-a garage, shed or workshop. If you have to keep the lumber outside, elevate it on some 4 x 4 runners and expose it on clear days.
Scientists say that solutions are homogenous systems. Everything in a solution is evenly spread out and thoroughly mixed. Heterogeneous mixtures have a little more of one thing (higher concentration) in one part of the system when compared to another. Let's compare sugar in water (H 2 O) to sand in water. Sugar dissolves and is spread throughout the glass of water. The sand sinks to the bottom. The sugar-water is a homogenous mixture while the sand-water is a heterogeneous mixture. Both are mixtures, but only the sugar-water can also be called a solution. Pretty much. Solutions can be solids dissolved in liquids.
Is water an a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture? Answer   Water, H2O, is not a mixture, but a compound.   A mixture contains multiple substances that are together, but not combined (shampoo, soil, trail mix, etc.). Wâ¦ater is one substance, containing multiple elements (hydrogen and oxygen) that have been chemically combined, making it a compound.
