It was a perfect evening for my friends Meggie and Timmy to visit. Timmy was back in the old neighborhood visiting for a few days. He had a brief break in between his semester at law school and his summer job (http://timparrish.blogspot.com/). And Meggie had a lot to tell me regarding Lady Gaga's new album. So while I was hosting them, I did what any good friend would do, I used them. But really, I couldn't imagine doing this step by myself. I desperately needed their help.
I previously stained the rails to match the runners and seats. The rubrails, or gunner molding, reinforces the gunwale (top edge of the side of the boat). I had two long rubrails for the length of the boat, and holding them in place by myself would have been a disaster.

Before I mixed the epoxy glue, I handed these blonde babes some latex gloves. My mom has a major crush on Timmy, so she gloved up as well. After I epoxied the rubrails, I had them hold the rails in place while I clamped the rails on. The glue was oozing, so I'm glad I dressed them in the appropriate gear.
I kept the clamps on overnight, and the rub rails looked great when I checked on them in the morning.
