Hi all,
I'm about to start a job on a few cracked stairs treads in an enclosed string staircase. (See attached photo.)
My question is whether I'm able to repair the treads rather than replace them? Would an epoxy resin do the job in this case? Or are the treads too far gone? I was thinking of screwing blocks to either side of the tread crack so I could clamp it up after filling with epoxy. (The stairs are going to be carpeted eventually, by the way.)
But if the treads are beyond repair, how would I go about removing them and then fitting news ones into the existing strings?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
