Refer to the numbers written on the back of each riser to ensure correct placement. Apply two to three beads of silicone adhesive to the back of each riser piece. Carefully align and press the riser into place against its corresponding stair step. Secure the riser further by driving three brad nails into each piece using a nail gun. Once all risers are installed, fill any remaining brad nail holes with wood putty, allow it to dry, and touch up the paint as needed. Finally, install any remaining baseboards around the staircase if not already done, securing them with nails and caulking any seams for a finished look.
