Instructions for kit #71K
Stair Assembly:
Wait until the flooring and wallpapering are done before
you install the stairs.
1. If you haven't already done so, square the corners
of the stair holes. Use a utility knife, and work from both
surfaces toward the center to avoid "split out": two cuts
from each direction for each corner.
2. Test fit, then glue together the Stair Blocks, (Illustra-
tion #1).
3. Sand and paint or stain the Stairs and the Stringers
before attaching the Stringers to the Stairs.
4. Test the Stairs with the Stringers in the stair hole.
5. Using a flexible set glue like silicone glue or Quick
Grab ® Cement, glue the inside Stringer to the Stairs, lined
up at the bottom and top. Glue the outside Stringer to the
stairs after the stairs have been installed, so that the fit
under the floor will be perfect.
6. Railings: Glue one dowel (2

tread spaced about

" from the edge, touching and glued

els are straight and in line as the glue dries.
7. Spread a little glue in the groove of the Banister,
and dab glue on the upper (blunter) end. Wiggle and slide
the Banister onto the dowels and into position with the end
touching the bottom of the next-higher floor.
8. Pinch the top end of each dowel into the groove of
the Banister to ensure a good fit. Glue a 3
