how do I fix a loose oak staircase banister ?

Answer 1

Go to your local hardware store and pickup some "no more nails" squeeze it into any area showing gaps....No-More-Nails goes on like silicon but hardens like a rock.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I assume you want an invisible repair. Force some wood glue (like Elmers) into the loose part, wipe off the excess with a damp cloth and give it overnight to dry. It should be OK. If you need additional support it will mean drilling a hold and gluing a dowel in place, then refinishing that area. I don't suggest using a screw as it is harder to hide.

Answer 3

attempt utilising a paint mitt. Pour the paint in a paint pan and lay you hand coated mitt in the paint to p.c.. up a load of paint. Wipe the further paint off the mitt by ability of dragging your palm on the sting of the pan. positioned your mitt-hand round each and each spindle and twist and slide your hand down the spindle. Then have someone with a broom the right length to spread out the further paint and to conceal some thing missed. If the spindles have small filigree use a smaller brush to get into tight areas. Use as tremendous of brush as conceivable for %'s sake. reliable success!
