I've got 3 engineered oak glazed doors to stain with Johnstones satin wood stain (oil based). a professional decorator friend of mine says he masks the glass prior to ever coat but he says its important to remove after each coat before it dries. But 3 coats on each side of the door means I'd have to mask the doors up 18 times! It will take me longer to mask than to do the staining. I will do it if I have to but has anyone got any other tips? I reckon the stain is too thick to try and cut in against the glass as there is only a small lip on the door. But if I try and do that and maybe scrape off any stain from the glass afterwards would that work?
