What happens here

Once the door is thoroughly sanded and clean, it's time to protect any glass panels. Carefully apply painter's tape along the edges of all glass inserts on the door. Ensure the tape adheres firmly to create a clean, sharp line and prevent any finish from bleeding onto the glass. This step is crucial for maintaining the aesthetic appeal and integrity of the glass during the finishing process.

Goal: Protect glass inserts from the applied finish.
