PROBLEM:
A standard up easing will not work with the necessary
newel locations.
SOLUTION:
Use of a 90˚ up easing may enable an effective transition to
the handrail rake. The starting step may require an
increased run (see Fig. A2-1).

Normally bending rails may be removed from the bending
guides in 24 to 48 hours. Extra drying time is recommended
when the rail is bent to a tight radius. Unclamp the rail and
remove the bending guides. Separate the rail from the
bending mold. The excess glue can be removed with a hand
belt sander or an electric hand planer.
STEP 4: Finishing the Bending Rail Balustrade
Install newels, fittings and balusters according to normal
instructions. It is best to install and finish the bending
rail immediately.
