    James, PL Premium is excellent. I have done quite a few stair installs on stringers with no blocking. I used the PL liberally with 15 gauge nails, and I haven't had any squeaks.

    Thanks for the info, guys. I will probably end up getting a contrasting species as opposed to the dye. I had both the maple and the transtint, so I wanted to see if I could make it happen.

    Peter Quinn does what I do, make a sacrificial fence that serves as a zero clearance "insert" (zci) and exact blade index. I usually use scrap 1/2" plywood for this. It will save you tons of time...

    I have an accuspray turbine that I love-but turbines create a bit of heat that can sometimes flash dry a finish. If you need portability, the turbine can be the bee's knees.

    You could try floetrol. If you add too much water, it will probably raise the grain if it is not primed yet.
