In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: attaching "rubrails" (George)

: Hello, hope all is well with everyone...

: I need some help. I'm putting on consecutive coats of varnish on my
: sof sea tour 15 exp, stapled polyester cloth. My first idea was
: to put on 3mm thin sipo rubrails to hide the staples. How would
: i go about this ? Most of the info i found so far mentions using
: screws and epoxy to attach rubrails. This works with thicker rub
: stock and the sipo i have tends to split quite easily. 3M 5200
: or an equivalent ?

: Another thought was of putting on some kind of webbing - tape, but
: there are some wrinkles were the staples are, so this would
: probably show (carbon or kevlar tape a good idea ?).
