Masking for Ceiling Staining

What happens here

Before applying stain to the porch ceiling, protect the surrounding areas from overspray. Carefully apply blue painter's tape along the edges where the ceiling meets the house siding. Then, secure plastic sheeting over the house siding and windows to fully mask them. This process is essential to prevent unwanted stain from splattering onto non-wood surfaces.

Goal: Protect house siding and windows from stain overspray.
