With the Chines in place the rail strips can be added, the strip edge profile can be adjusted with a block plane, fit the strips in place dry and check them for fit and adjust as in the photo. The first two strips are Western red Cedar, they are just over a 1/4 inch think and 3/8 tall, then three or four more in Paulonia then a couple more Cedar to seat the deck, the reason for the Cedar is aesthetic, I plan to add some Meranti strips to the deck so wanted a little red in the rails. The photos show a rail strip that has planed to seat on the Chine. A bead of glue on the rail strip and a dab on each rib is all thats required then clamp it up. I tend to use large crocodile style clamps, these I found at Wickes and have detachable feet, I found they have an ability to clamp at many angles due to thier design. They are about a fiver a pair but work well, better than the split pvc pipe option allbeit more expensive, a rail containing seven strips can be done in a few hours...drink plenty of tea in between fitting, I am sure it makes the glue set faster!
