Default Rebedding Hand Rail question

"derbyrm" wrote
Don't use a stainless steel bolt (crevice corrosion). SS needs air.


Not necessarily true. Crevasse corrosion requires a lack of oxygen AND an
electrolyte like salt water. If the rail is properly bedded as recommended
the bolt will remain dry. If it does leak the damage to the interior
headliner will force rebedding long before the bolt is damaged to any
significant degree.
