Rail Rounding Help with pics

Jama · Guest

Well I've wanted to play around with this for awhile and this weekend when I accidentally dropped my Integ from the dock to my uncles boat by accident and put a big ding in the rail I decided now was the time. But I have no clue what I'm doing. Any help would be great and I'm putting two pics up asking where to round and one of just the ding in the board.

wakemitch, I've looked at that but I'm still not sure whether to round just the area in the 2nd picture like it shows in that link or the whole slant.

just round the tip of the edge.

wakemitch, mmk so like in the second pic? and also you got to grind away on the bottom sheet for a minute for it to work don't you?

Jama, epoxy it first and clamp it for a day or so (if you havent yet.) If you put enough expoy in it you can just sand down the expoy and follow the exisiting edge shape. That's what I would try to do anyway.

Jama, you dont have to touch the top sheet. the rail should extend past it.

wakemitch, I was talking about the bottom sheet

88skisupreme, are we upset that our biological clock is ticking?

I just think its funny when people read the directions on something so simple and still need help.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting a little extra confidence before you permanently alter a 250 dollar deck...

el, thank you...I really just have no clue what I'm doing.

Step 1: Take sanding block

Step 2: Sand edges

It's so simple. Just sand the thing until the rails are smooth. Yes, you might have to sand a little bit of the bottom layer but not much. Since you are ROUNDING the rails, it shouldn't be affected much down there. Stop making it more complicated that it really is people! Its the same process as sanding the edge of a piece of wood
