the treads-n-risers are glued with construction adhesive (p.l. premium) to the strings same with the wedges only the wedges have a 2-1/2" nail holding `em `till the glue sets. treads-n-risers are glued together in the dado at the nose and the butt joint (supplimented with screws) with plain ol` yellow glue.
