I decided to wait until the next day to do the last two sections of the rub rail but wanted to get a jump on getting the rubber insert in.
Finishing the rub rail along the side.
I tried using a utility razor on an ned scrap piece and found that a hack saw cut the rub rail much better. I used some cardboard just to make sure the hacksay did not jerk off and scratch the paint. It did in fact jump on me and hit the cardboard. I lapped the pieces by 1/8" and then worked them together.
Bringing the rub rail around the corner of the stern took the most patience. I used a hair dryer to heat the rub rail and had to keep it on the corner much longer than when I heated the bow.

I used a hair dryer to heat the rub rail around the bow of the boat. I had to be patient, but it worked really well and did not heat the boat itself.
I started on the other side of the boat adding the new rub rail. I had the rub rail stretched out and wieghted down upstairs for a couple of days, but you can see the rigid PVC still wants to stay coiled.
