Cutting tight curves with the single edge razor
No one will really see the bottom edge of the rubrail trim as much as the top, but it is a good place to practice for the top.  First time around last year, by the transom handholds, was not that great a job (terrible heat, Xacto instead of razor, etc).  Much better this time.  Slow and careful... the film is still pliable but getting tougher the morning after a day of spraying three coats white and three coats clear.
