Hoisin is often referred to as Chinese barbecue sauce, not because it has a similar flavor, but because it is used for a variety of purposes, similar to American barbecue sauce. Hoisin is also sometimes referred to as Peking sauce because it is used to create the thick glaze on the popular dish, Peking duck.
Balusters, the vertical guards that support the handrail, must be installed close enough that the space between them is no greater than 4 inches. Most city inspectors carry a 4-inch ball with them to test the spacing. Installed balusters should withstand 50 lbs. of pressure exerted over a 1-square-foot area.
Fully engage the baluster daggers into the routed holes of the bottom rail (Figure 11). Mark the stair angle on one end of each baluster to be used. Cut the composite square baluster at an angle on the top and bottom of each baluster (Figure 10). Ensure that all of the balusters are of equal length. Trim if necessary.
