yep.  Don't let it sit there, either.  Just apply and remove.  If it isn't dark enough, do it again.  super simple.

Yeah, i'm also horrible at painting. So bad that the wife won't ever let me help paint.

But it gets me out of alot of painting.

And I put the stain on with a brush, I think that's the problem.

Rags are a lot easier to apply and control stain with.  Just make sure you use a rubber glove.

Table saw works best for a straight cut but it can be done with a circular saw or reciprocating saw. You'll want to sand the cut when you're done.

Yeah, hollow doors have rails, solid wood interior frames.  So, cutting a little off the bottom shouldn't be an issue.

If you want to be a real pro, wrap it in painters tape, then score the cut line with a knife and straight edge, then cut it using whatever. I generally use a circular saw with a straight edge. A table saw can scratch the door, if that's a concern.  You won't have to sand crap

The tape and scoring help keep the wood from splintering up along the cut
