Q: From May 21, 2018 question – local builder who did our stain job on stairwell saying they did a good job. Stain has chipped all over the first year (only socked feet walk on) and original stained tried to do “touch ups” but the painters tape that he put down is now pulling off huge chunks of stain.
I’ve seen some other sites that say never use painters tape on stained wood. I think, like you said, if done properly it should not pull it off.
