There are two types of Post Top options – You will have either have External Post Top (standard) or, to give a flush finish
look you will use a Flush Post Top.
Both procedures are outlined below.
EXTERNAL POST TOP
Apply liquid nails to all four internal walls of the post
top. Sleeve the post top over the post and seat down
by hand then level the post top.
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 sealant or liquid nails 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.

NOTE:
-
You may have to squeeze the sides of the flush
post top to start it into the post.
Seal around the post top with an exterior (paint able)
polyurethane sealant prior to painting (Sika flex pro is
recommended). This will provide a water tight seal and
prevent the top from lifting with expansion and contraction.
