What happens here
After the adhesive has set, use a cordless drill and pocket screws to further secure the mitered joint from the underside. Drive screws through the previously drilled pocket holes, ensuring they firmly connect the two composite pieces without being visible from the top surface of the tread. This provides additional mechanical strength to the joint, preventing separation over time.
Goal: Mechanically strengthen the mitered joint using hidden pocket screws.
