Glue the riser (step kit)
Thank you, Thank you.....
You were so right.....it works really well to hand-saw with a japan saw
I was thinking of oiling the steps with an oil called Satin Oil Gold. It's apparently an oil mousse that is very economical and is supposed to be easy to work with. You should be able to walk on the oiled area after 1 hour. It was recommended to me by a painter. Is it something you have experience with?

No, unfortunately not. I haven't oiled the steps at all since they were oiled upon delivery. Other woodwork in connection with the staircase has been oiled with Osmo hardwax oil, with excellent results.scar69 said:Thank you, thank you.....

Okay, then I will become the pilot tester of that oil 
I was thinking of applying some maintenance oil as the Step kit recommended it since the steps were only primed with oil.
I will return one day with comments regarding the oil.

The painting work was a huge job, but laying down the steps wasn't as tough/difficult to perform as I thought it would be.
I removed the carpet and there were no problems with that either. I pulled off the carpet and scraped off the glue residue in 2-3 hours.

I have a small project where I'm considering doing what you did. How did you attach the stair nosings to the oak parquet?estwing said:

this is how my staircase turned out, scroll down a bit in the pictures to see, before/after!!!

regarding the gluing, I used PL400, a bead around and a little zigzag in the middle.
then I took hot glue that you have been talking about the whole time in the thread that should *grab* immediately. :O
so simple.
I built my staircase with 14 mm oak parquet and the stair nosing 56mm oak molding...d^_^b

Ok. Unfortunately, I don't have a moulding gun. Considering routing the underside of the click floor. And then gluing a stair nose according to my nice picture. I'm thinking that there won't be any load on the stair nose from above and that it will also look nice. What do you think?estwing said:
