I know the tip to use a q-tip or makeup applicator to get in the tight
inside corners. I'm asking more about tips on not bumping into the
adjoining "wall". Like when painting a room, you're supposed to cut in a
new wall (wall B) - not getting any paint on the adjoining wall B because
you will get a line on the adjoining wall B because you'll have one small
line painted before you go back and pain the rest of wall B after wall A.

So if I'm using a rag to stain, any tips on how to get close enough to the
edge that is filled in with a q-tip, without getting stain on the adjoining
wall. I might be too lazy to tape off the other sides.

Thanks

Stain inside corners before assembly.

And after assembly?

I asssume you'd say to tape the edges before assembly?

Can't be done with a Q-tip and if your are too lazy to tape, you'd probably
be too lazy to make a little setup with a foam brush that works.

Well I no longer stain inside corners after assembly IF I care what it will
look like. To keep the stain off of the mating piece use a wide thin
straight edge like the one painters use to push into the corner if you don't
want to tale and mask off the area. Still you will typically end up darker
areas at the joint because you will still have to work that area harder to
get the stain into the crack and will never get all of the stain wiped off.
I hate staining before and after assembly but not as much as staining inside
corners.
