We used this to trim out the teak brightwork on Dad's Dyer sailing Dinghy. The wood rotted wood was entirely replaced with teak and the brass sets it off beautifully while providing bumper protection. Excellent quality. Dad would be proud off the results. It should last another 40 years or more.

Q: How corrosion resistant is the brass, is it ""naval brass"" that can withstand direct contact with saltwater?
a year ago3 Answers
A: Brass is not recommended for direct contact with seawater. Bronze does better than brass in that application. Brass is subject to corrosion and weakening by ""dezincification"".

Q: Can you make screw holes in the rub rail? Bronze 1/2 inch by 6ft
2 years ago1 Answer
A: Yes, I was able to easily drill holes into the stock. I don't have a drill press, and just used a portable drill with a drill guide, but did not have that many holes to drill. If I had long sections and a lot of holes, I would probably invest in a drill press. Hope this helps.

Q: The product description is very clear that it is not pre-drilled. I do not have a machine shop where precise center of round will be easy to (or possible) to drill for use. Is there a pre-drilled version available in 12-14' lengths. I am replacing a brass skeg along keel of a rowing boat that has fractured at the screws holes over the round forward bend. I don't believe it can be braised or mended to use.

A: Take it to a machine shop. Drilling it on a drill press will be more accurate and a lot easier. Also if you must drill it yourself, mark out each whole then centre punch the locations, it should drill fine.

Q: To save on shipping how do I request that the trim is rolled.
4 years ago1 Answer
A: I believe it will ship the least expensive method possible as the default. There is a comment section where you can make the request when you place the order, or you can call the TotalSupport Center at 800-423-0030 to be sure.

Q: This is my second question regarding the brass rub rail. I have a 23' Menger Catboat with a 10' beam. It has a two inch wide solid teak rub rail approximately 1 1/2 inch thick. I'd like to add a 12 ' long brass rub rail to the teak rail as my slip is narrow (and I'm tired of re-doing the teak). I'm considering the 3/4 inch X 12' brass half oval trim piece. Would #4 or #6 silicone bronze screws be best? Is 3/4 inch long enough? Will you be able to ship 2 x 12' pieces to Lancaster, PA in a way to arrive undamaged? I'm open to any other suggestions. Want to keep traditional look on boat. Thanks, Dave

A: Well, I bought some of the 1/2"" half oval, and I think #6 screws would work better. I still have it, and have never mounted it, so I can't say from field experience, but I can say that I never considered #4 screws. As for length of screws, I guess it all boils down to how much abuse you think it would get. For myself, I would use the longest screws I could use, simply because I would not want them to pull out. Of course, if they did pull out the longer screws would do more damage, but I think they would be less likely to pull out in the first place. Hope that helps!

Q: what size brass/bronze screws should i use with 1/2 inch brass half/round run rail to install on teal rub rail of sailboat
5 years ago4 Answers
A: First, use silicon bronze screws, not brass. Brass are not strong enough. Size is dependent on the length or depth that you have to go to screw into a solid surface beyond the rub rail. The diameter of the screw is partially related to the finished look or aesthetics. Some people like to use round headed screws and not recess the screw head into the brass half round. Others might like to countersink a flat headed screw so the finished appearance is closer to a flush surface. That's where the diameter of the screw head makes a difference because the 1/2"" brass can be weakened by a big countersink for a big screw head. Probably more than you wanted to hear and I didn't tell you what size screw to buy. Whatever screw style use silicon-bronze.
