Step 5 · Cure and Inspect

Let the adhesive cure completely. Refer to the adhesive's packaging for the recommended curing time, which can range from 24 to 72 hours. During this time, avoid heavy foot traffic on the stairs. After curing, inspect each tread to ensure it is firmly attached and not lifting at the edges. Clean up any stray pencil marks or minor adhesive residue with an appropriate cleaner.
