Fix using a suitable wood adhesive applied to the top of the newel post, ensuring the cap is centred and square before clamping or weighting while the adhesive sets. Apply your chosen finish, whether oil, stain or varnish, once fitted and sanded smooth to protect the oak and achieve an even colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cap fit a standard 90mm newel post?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
