Wood stain protection?
I have 2 pieces of wood joined together and I would like to stain one piece, while keeping the other stain free. What should I use to mask off one piece to make sure no stain get on the wood? Would blue painters tape be enough or is something more heavy duty required here? Thanks.

As suggested, you need to apply the clear poly first. The tape will work decent but isn't likely to be foolproof. If you are brushing the poly, try to keep the poly off of the tape. That will help a little. Once the poly is dry, remove the tape. If any poly seeped under the tape, try to scrape it off [in the direction of the grain] and then carefully sand.
