I agree with this method ( I do the same) but a lot of guys dont take the time to sand the primer off the top edge of the riser so the glue will stick. They don't understand the way wood glue works....it doesn't stick to paint/primer.

Those stairs look great! I am starting to like metal balusters more and more.
