I am getting closer in my complete paint job.. Now I am thinking ahead on reinstalling the railing.
What is the best material to isolate between the railing and the deck (if needed).
The threads have different opinions.
I thinking of a harder plastic or nylon washer???
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.

To do it right I'd use 1/8" delrin sheet. Tef-Gel on the screws.

After four years, my goofy system is still working great; no corrosion spots, and the railings are still as tight as the day I put them on! I used Rivet Nuts (#8-32 thread size) and put a nylon washer ONLY below the railing posts. The idea is allow water to flow between the post and deck, preventing crevasse corrosion.
There's details of all this on the Repair Website.

I'm STILL waiting for my bailout!

Used 1/4" nylon spacers obtained from eBay and TefGel (you can see a little TefGel squeeze out in the photos). The rails are 'tight as a monkeys fist'.  Note nice shiny paint   Note nonskid paint
