Installation Instructions

Joining rails and posts is fast and simple. The following assembly instructions are based on extensive experience and testing and will make strong joints if carefully followed.

ToolsSaws (hand or power), miter box, non-synthetic rags, knife or rasp, solvent with dauber (if dauber is not supplied use a natural brush equal to 2/3 of the diameter of the post or rail being installed).
CuttingPosts and rails can be easily cut with a common handsaw or power saw. Cuts should be as square as possible (suggest using a miter box) to maximize bonding surface.

Removal of BurrsAfter cutting, burrs must be removed. Burr removal is easily done with a pocketknife or rasp.
CleaningSurfaces to be joined must be wiped completely free of all foreign matter with a clean dry cloth.

Cement Application
– Apply a liberal coat of cement evenly around the
end of the rod or tube being joined, a length equal to the fitting depth.
Apply a light coat of cement into the fitting bell end. Cement application should be done rapidly and without interruption. Simply insert rod or rail into the fitting until it bottoms out. Before joint is set, wipe off any excess cement with a cotton rag or paper towel.


NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SOLVENT WELD WET SURFACES.
CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE

WARNING: Solvent cements are extremely flammable.
Keep away from sparks and open flame.
