After cutting a stair tread to its final size, flip it over to expose its underside. Apply a generous amount of strong construction adhesive or specialized carpet adhesive to the back of the tread. Distribute the adhesive evenly, focusing on applying a continuous bead around the perimeter and adding a few wavy beads or dots in the center. This ensures maximum adhesion across the entire surface and helps prevent future lifting.
