Resources:
While the risers could have also been replaced, Tom thought it would be easier and just as effective to apply a veneer over them to give them a cleaner look that matched the new treads. Tom applied a pressure backed 20 PSA red oak veneer, which is manufactured by Veneer Technologies (https://amzn.to/2ITqr9u). He ordered one 4’x8’ sheet for the whole set of stairs.
For the template, Tom used an extra piece of Ram Board temporary floor protection (https://amzn.to/2Wd23Tg), though any semi-rigid markable material would work.
To secure the treads in place, Tom used 8d finish nails and construction adhesive, which is manufactured by Gorilla Glue (https://amzn.to/2GVAQiA).
