    After applying glue, the baluster is carefully maneuvered into position. First, the bottom end of the baluster is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the stair tread. Next, the top end is angled and gently fitted into the corresponding groove or hole located on the underside of the handrail. The craftsman uses their hands to ensure the baluster is properly seated, plumb (vertically straight), and flush with the surrounding components before final fastening.
