    At least try to purchase from a well known tape company. There are several.
    The main sources for fine line tape (a generic term used by multiple manufacturers , not just 3M) are hobby shops for very fine stuff, and for the others panel beating supplies, auto paint shops and airbrush supplies. Most are flexible plastic, but there is also masking tape types. I'm not entirely sure the tape type realy makes much difference for staining, but they do make a difference with painting. The best trick when painting to stop bleed is to lightly spray a clear base coat first .

    That is indeed a great trick Rabbit, unless you want the wood taking the stain, and not the stain to sit on the clear coat. Although I can imagine for the darker stains that might not differ all that much.

    Yeh, the trick works with *paint* not stain. If you wanted to simulate stain using clear to stop bleeding, you would have to be shooting candies.
