Step 2 – Cutting Old Balusters Using the Reciprocating Saw or Jig Saw, cut the wood balusters in half. Step 3 – Remove Old Balusters Once cut, remove the balusters by slowly pushing them back for forth until the nails are worked loose. If nails are left hanging out, use the pliers to wiggle them out. Step 4 – Drilling Holes *This applies if you don’t already have holes from your wooden balusters. Drill an appropriate size hole for your balusters top and bottom. (If you don’t want to use shoes to hide leftover gaps with square balusters, you can use a mortising bit and punch out a square hole instead.) Drill 1" to 1.5" deep up into the handrail. Drill 1/4" to 1/2" into the tread / floor. (Use your best judgement as you should know the material you are installing into.) Step 5 – Cutting Iron Balusters to Size Measure and cut your balusters 3/4" longer than the distance from the bottom of the handrail to the top of the base (tread/floor). This gives you enough room to slide the baluster up into the rail and then drop it down into the hole. A Portaband saw or chop saw with metal cutting blade are the best methods to cut wrought iron balusters. Depending on where you want your pattern to line up, you may cut all from one side or cut some from both sides. Step 6 – Insert Iron Balusters If you are using shoes, Add them in step 7 and then insert the iron balusters into the holes. Slide your balusters into place. Make sure your pattern is correct and everything lines up. Step 7 – Base Shoes If using shoes, slide your shoes on now. Apply about a dime size drop of epoxy in the top and bottom holes. After the epoxy has dried, slide the shoes into place and epoxy them as well with just a little dab. Alternatively, if your shoes have set screws, you can tighten the screw at this point. Allow up to 24 hours for the epoxy to fully dry. (We recommend always using epoxy for the shoes, as on some hammered. Iron baluster installation requires one EPC-101 epoxy dispenser, and then one tube of EPC-410 epoxy for every 15 balusters. This assumes you use a dime size drop top and bottom.
