Would you please bring me some of the stain (if possible)? I would like to cover my AI Lights with masking tape, and then stain the tape...so the lights blend in with cover.

Do you have some of the stain still?

NOT a good idea. The solvents in the stain will soften the adhesive on the glue. Unless its a waterbased stain. And honestly all that hard work to slap a piece of stained tape on it is truly silly. Why not have B build 2 3 sided, open top boxes to cover the lights?
