eggsuckindog, see above for pics, i cant figure that out. very simple to do. heres step by step.
1-get teak "half round" milled down so the bottom half is cut off. you should be left w/ a rounded over piece about 5/8 wide on the bottom. Cost $50 for 36 feet at my lumber yard, not terrible.
2-rub teak oil all over, dry sand repeat dry sand repeat etc
3-cut the small pieces (vertical ones) with 45 degree angles a few inches long. hold in place and mark the top flush cut w/ a pencil. you could use a chop saw but i just used a japanese pull saw and old school miter box for this. if you dont have miter box just hold small speed square and mark the 45 degree.
4-predrill holes (from behind) then flip over and use countersink bit from front side-you dont want the screw to fight through the wood, its too thin, let it grab the fiberglass behind!!!
5-screw verticals in place, repeat above steps to fill long stretches in between.
6-i used #4 1/2 inch flat top screws, any bigger damaged/split the wood; spaced 12-16 inches.
7-after sitting outside over night, trim had expanded here and there, small dab of glue here and there held with a clamp fixed that right up.
8- i ordered too much on purpose as i thought i may screw up, for an 18 ft boat 25 feet would have been plenty.
i can mail you a scrap if you want to have something to take to get milled. you probably dont want to make it yourself; i have a ton of wood working/shaping tools but its just so small and fragile and i like having all my fingers!! if any of this doesnt make sense ask me, also i could email you some pictures, i already have some loaded on my computer that i sent to my father...
