The 41mm groove accepts standard HDR spindles directly, and spindles should be evenly spaced and fixed with a suitable wood adhesive or panel pins before the rail is secured to the string or floor surface. Once installed, the rail can be sanded smooth and finished with a compatible paint or stain to match surrounding joinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat spindle size fits the groove in this base rail?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe groove is cut at 41mm wide, so it is designed to accept 41mm HDR pine spindles from the same range.
