Staining my Deck

Staining my Deck
Help. I applied Olympic weather screen oil stain to my deck without reading the directions. Thought it was deck stain. Now I see that it is not to be put on horizontal surfaces--it won't dry. I've done 10-14 boards! Is there anything I can apply to either remove it or make it dry enough to apply the correct stain over? The deck was stained previously with a semi-transparent stain.

Removing oil based stain
Oil based stains contain dyes and pigments and mineral spirits. Mineral spirits are typically recommended for clean up. Take care using solvents, as they tend to be smelly, volatile, and flammable.
