Instructions for kit #DH77K
22: Stairs and Landing
Paint, sand, assemble, and paint again all parts before installing them.
Do not paint in Rails' grooves or Liners' holes. If you are staining and
varnishing, a staining sealer gives more even penetration of the stain.
When gluing parts together, scrape sections of bare wood for the glue to
grab (glue doesn't stick well to paint).
