tks..actually the stock bullnose is about 1 inch wider. I cut it instead of the plank. I can cut the plank back 1 inch and leave the bull nose as is. That will make it a bit more stable on the edge.

Ha, your a funny man Re: Silicone; To hold the floor down or fill a gap? I think your right aboutthe transition...even if I got to to match up, that edge of the floor will not be held down and will always be squishy.

Hi, I've been playing with it today. Have it pretty matched up, but due to the fact that it's a floating floor, the edge that is next to the bull nose is that is not locked it and slightly rises just a bit. Just enough to not match the bull nose in a few spots. Any suggestions? I know you...

Hi, Tks for the reply. It's the board behind the riser that is too high. It's looks like a 2 x 8 nailed to the stairs. It goes from being flush to about 1/8" on the other side you can't see. I don't own a router. Maybe hand sanding will be enough to take some of the edge and stain...

Hi, Looking for some advice how to handle my stair nose transition on last step to floor. A couple of things. 1. There is a height difference between the floor and the piece of wood I called "Part of stair". The difference varies along the entire width of the floor. I suppose I could shim...

Ha...your so right..tks, I may give a small section a try and see how it comes out...thank you

@havasu Although I've made some wedges and they look ok, that is really what I want to do. Are you saying make a new skirt board with the 1/4 sheet? Can you provide a bit more detail. It's the rounded nose piece and the deisgn under the tread that's the challenge? Thank you

@highup , Thank you for the suggestions. I did stain an extra tread before making the cuts. I've made a couple wedges. I used a dremel to sand them to get them to fit as best as possible. I used a bit of the matching color wood putting to press in between the edges. They don't look bad. I...

tks..I'll give it a try. What is a technique to get the correct angle? Measure the width of the widest part and then???

tks..I'll give it a try. What is a technique to get the correct angle? Measure the width of the widest part and then??? Do you think trying to scribe a new skirt to cover the gap would be a huge challenge? The wedges would be easier? Just trying to close some of the large gaps. Thank you

Hi, I do. What would be a good technique and tool to cut it. Thank you

Hi, My project is complete..thanks to all the help here. I'm happy with the outcome excpet for one aspect. Because the skirt was not flat or warped, my limited skills and the limitations of my equipment, you can see the gap near skirt. I'm looking for suggestions of what I can do to fill and...

Hi, Thanks for all the answers..project going good so far. What is the prefered way to transition at the top, which is a riser, to a rug on the landing in the hallway? Thank you

Hi..another question. I see there are white risers that are either 3/8 thick or 3/4. Is there a reason to use one thickness over the other? Thank you

Hi, What kind of caulkdo you use..it's a bit hard to tell from the picture,but it looks dark. Thank you for the answers.
