After removing the old balusters, thoroughly clean the handrail and base. This involves scraping away any remaining glue, wood splinters, or rough edges. Apply wood filler liberally to all holes, cracks, and imperfections left by the removed balusters and any previous fasteners. Use a putty knife or finger to press the wood filler firmly into the areas needing repair. Once applied, smooth the surface with the putty knife to ensure an even finish. Allow the wood filler to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
