Note: It may be necessary in some cases to place a small packer in-between the top and the post to hold the
top level until the liquid nails dries.
Flush Post Top
Apply a small amount of MS Silicone to the sides of the flush post top before pushing
it into place, wipe away any excess. Push the flush post top into the post and tap it down lightly to seat it.
