Fellow-ship. Yeah, I did one the "hard" way once, made a huge mess and it didn't come out perfect like the factory guys do it.

I used the TACO rail the last couple of projects, I went direct to their factory in the Golden Glades. You can also buy from Railings Unlimited in Lauderdale (behind Lesters) they have a large selection and will negotiate. They also have various inserts (including the SS). Make sure that whatever brand/style you choose, get one that has a very hard plastic backing "built in" to the rub rail. The backing will help keep sags from occurring between fasteners. Its more expensive, but worth it. Any plain rubber rail is going to look like it was an afterthought. Taco and Railings Unlimited also sell various end pieces for the termination.
