[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 422882, member: 15636"] I once split some white rubber 'sanitation' hose of 1-1/2"'diameter in half, cut down one side. Took an old jig saw blade and snapped it shorter so I could use the power tool and then held the hose in my Black & Decker tool mate bench. Made the cut pretty fast! Just try to keep your cut on the INSIDE of any natural bend to the hose. I found that by putting a 1/2" line using a Sharpie marker every foot worked slick! I just secured it to the rail every 6" with good quality zip-ties. Worked slick, was cheap enough and is still in place a dozen years later, although clearly zip-ties have been replaced. I could have pop-riveted it in place, but it is a work skiff for a private club and being 'volunteers' to add the rub rail ... we were ... well, lazy! [/QUOTE]
