So part of my winter fun is refinishing the handrails. A pain to remove as one of the nuts was stuck to a bolt, and then I accidentally cut the wrong bolt...so now I have to get 2 new bolts.
At any rate, the handrails are attached by 5 stainless tubular supports - inside the tube is a piece of teak rounded to fit inside the stainless tube to support the bolt as it goes thru the tube and into the deck.
Of course several of the teak pieces inside several of the tubes are completely rotted. And the inner diameter of the tube does not appear to be a standard size. Any thoughts on how to cut some new teak pieces for the stainless tube?
My other approach was to fill the tubes with epoxy so they'll never rot.
