Tim,

One more kick at the can for rubrails.

You've heard the pros of a double glassed deck to hull joint. Good stuff.

How about this.

I put my rubrails on before I glass the deck and plane them flush to be a part of the deck's top edge.

Now when I glass the deck, the wrap over includes the rail and gives me a beautiful lower edge to trim the expoxied cloth.

While not the equivalent of 10oz, it is 4 oz of epoxy-filled fiberglass.

That's it for my 2 cents - Canadian.
