Align the top section of
the handrail with the topmost baluster, using the mark on the underside

fastening the handrail to the balusters. Note that the handrail is
flexible and yields to mild downward force.

industrial air blower, or adding a weight (a clamp.) on the lower
rail section overnight. This added weight will lower the rail to meet
the baluster top.
