How to Fit a Newel Post Cap?
Fitting a newel post cap is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail for a secure and clean finish. Here's a general guide:
- Step 1: Ensure the newel post is securely fixed in place
- Step 2: Apply a small amount of wood glue to the top of the newel post
- Step 3: Carefully place the newel cap onto the post, ensuring it is aligned properly
- Step 4: Press down gently to ensure the cap is flush with the post. If the cap has screws or pins, drill small pilot holes in the newel post and insert them to secure the cap
