Troubleshooting
Cap does not fit securely
Ensure you are using the correct adhesive for metal and wood, and that the adhesive has been allowed to cure fully as per the manufacturer's instructions. Double-check that the newel post dimensions are indeed 90mm x 42mm.
Adhesive seems weak
Verify that both the newel post and the inside of the cap were clean and dry before application. Ensure you used a sufficient amount of adhesive and allowed adequate curing time. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for the materials.
Finish appears scratched or dull
