Simshoe Square

 

1 whole Simshoe. So if you order a qty of 1, you will receive 2 halves.
Please measure the post you want to place a Simshoe on. The square Simshoes are designed to fit the following sizes of square posts: 1″, 1.25″, 1.5″ and 2″. The Simshoes will not fit a standard 4×4 wood post.
If you choose not to glue them together, they snap and unsnap easily. Can be removed and put back on no problem.
Adhesive is recommended but not necessarily required. The two ends snap and hold together fine. However, if kicked or bumped, they may come loose. The Simshoes are made of ABS Plastic and it is recommended to use ABS glue or super glue for a more permanent hold.
We do not manufacture Simshoes in 2.5 x 2.5.

Split Knuckle

Silicone Caulk inside the Knuckle. Put a good Bead of Clear or color match Silicone on the inside of the Knuckle, put the knuckle in place and hold it in place with a clamp below it or tape it in place. Be sure that you use enough silicone to get a good hold on the railing. You can wipe any excess that might ooze out. You could also use Siliconized Latex Caulk if you are going to paint the railing at some point.
