Glue advice (UGH! I need to add height to a stair riser)

I believe wood glue will work but I think I would use construction adhesive.

IF the riser is off, simply use wood glue clamp it together, then wipe away the excess wood glue, you can use construction adhesive to apply the riser, but being that it isn’t the part that you walk on, it is not as necessary, you can probably just use wood glue there as well.

AWI (Architectural woodwork institute) standard says anything over 8 inches has to be glued up to avoid bowing. While I don’t necessarily agree with that, I am merely pointing out that some fancy institute says you should do that anyways.

Stair treads are typically just glued together with regular wood glues. Then adhered to the stringers with construction adhesive, when done well. But even then the construction adhesive isn’t really “required”.

I use titebond glues on everything, I dont think I have ever had a proper glue joint fail.
