Another method you may want to try and use for heating up a rubrail is soaking it in hot water for a few hours. It makes it very pliable and easy to work with.

To do this....My buddy rigged up a big plastic drum with a heating element from a hot water heater. He turns it on and lets the rubrail soak in it (covered up) for a few hours until it is very pliable.
