Painter's tape or some other type?

Yeah, mine says masking tape, but I think they're the same. I also use tape when I want to apply edge dressing.

Not stupid at all. It is very very difficult-akin to polishing a spectator shoe. Use painters tape or masking tape, go slow-take your time.

Only use 'low-tack' tape.
With a firmly sticking tape, you rip off the wax-polish.

Give yourself plenty of room and take your time. I've been doing this a very long time and have never screwed up a pair. Never did use any kind of tape.

Has anyone ever sent a pair of shoes back to Church's for resoling?

Those carmina are from thearmoury.com. Look at the top of this page for its affiliate thread. Their customer service is phenomenal.
