I have a workpiece that I want to give an oil finish, but a certain area needs to stay oil-free, because I need to attach a part later on using hide glue. What masking method is safe for oil?

I’m now doing the hide glue method. I did a test piece and oil doesn’t seem to penetrate the hide glue at all.
that’s great to hear and thanks for taking the time to post a follow up! that’s mighty lemmy of you ;)
got any pics to share?
I think the masked-off area is easy to spot:
The body got an alcohol-varnish and the fingerboard is oiled. Worked pretty well.
