I built a deck for a customer, and used composite decking and railing

Just started trying to figure out a clean way to fasten the rail sections to
the posts, at the end of work today. I didn't like the look of what I was
doing, which was either to attach some small blocks of spindle sections to
the posts and screw threw the railing into the blocks, or to drill pocket
holes and sink screws through the rails into the posts.

I've been searching for an hour or two trying to get some idea of what the
manufacturers of these products suggest, but am not getting any installation
specifics, just basic product descriptions.

Anybody got any experience with this?

Thanks,

Steve Johnson
