"I've made a 30 inch cherry inside rail section to splice into a boat I am currently rebuilding. I had planned to replace the entire rail but when I couldn't get the require length of cherry I decided to splice in the missing section. Worst case (if I don't like the result) I'll tear it out and go back to plan A, replacing the whole thing.\n\nMy question is what adhesive you would use for this? Ordinarily I use Gflex for stem tip repairs and Titebond 3 for everything else..such as rail tip repairs.\nThis section happens to be behind the bow seat and will be drilled to accept a thwart. I have cut 9 inch scarf joints and pre-bent the section to match the boats shape..it fits nicely and should glue in perfectly. I may poke a few dowels in strategic spots once the wood is attached.\n\nShould I go ahead and use the Titebond or should I use the Gflex ? Should I use something else (what)?\n\nI'm open to and interested in advice...this is the first time I've spliced into the middle of a rail so I'm not sure if I should treat this differently than a tip replacement. \nMike"
