I’m a big stainless fan, but not so much for handrails in the summer sun. I was seriously considering stainless for my handrails as I had a friend who went that route. But when I went to admire and be inspired by his rails, I grabbed ahold of one and nearly got 2nd degree burn. The impression I got was that a hot rail is a safety concern.
I’m thinking of HDPE rails (aka a Starboard equivalent) may be the way to go. While StarBoard/SeaBoard are a bit pricey, there are equivalents such as outdoor grade HDPE or UV stabilized HDPE sign boards which cost nearly half as much. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Feb 18, 2019, at 10:11 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 21:15:43 -0500 > From: Josh Muckley <muckl...@gmail.com <mailto:muckl...@gmail.com>> > To: "C&C List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Epoxy or not. > Message-ID: > <ca+zacrbqcw3b5szxr2q4ehfo45jy2gcald0yyjfb9dzhhe2...@mail.gmail.com > <mailto:ca+zacrbqcw3b5szxr2q4ehfo45jy2gcald0yyjfb9dzhhe2...@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Replace with stainless steel.
