If you gonna paint it you might consider giving the outer corner (under) a radius with a router and put a fillet into the inner corner, I did it that way and I'm glad I did, it just gives you a much nicer grip opposite to hard corners. I try to find you a pic to explain better.

I understand. Even if I leave the wood finished bright a radius is a good idea.

keep in mind that If you rout the plywood it will give you different colors because of the multi layers, here's a pic to explain my previous comment better, not the best pic but it gives you an idea I hope.

Very Nice Peter!

Eric, your rubrail looks great! I'll hang on to the router bit, I think you came up with a nice alternative.

I didn't work the build this weekend. I was rear ended Friday as I waited to turn in my driveway.The jerk ran from the scene. I got the tag and make of the car. The police are looking for him. My back and shoulder were very sore Saturday so I did very little. Sunday was Danielle's 19th birthday so Saturday night I cooked the meal she asked for. Steaks, Baked potato, salad with a nice Danish blue cheese and roasted onions. We just took it easy.
She was in the car as well but she had no adverse effects.

Today I removed the clamps and sanded the tops of the rub rails. As nice as the plywood looks I've decided to paint them. I really don't want the upkeep of bright work. I think the black Tessilmare rail will look good on the gray wooden rail.
No pictures today I was/am covered in work in the machine shop.

Good talk today and glad you are doing better following the crazy driver reading his text and hitting you in the rear last Friday afternoon!!! These folks should lose their license for an extended period!!! Jeff

I'm impressed by the logical way you're thinking ahead with your rub rails Eric. The result will be spot on.
