- The double sided sticky tape is fairly poor
It is available with and without sticky tape. Personally I would not
bother with the sticky tape variety but fasten it to the wall with
nails or screws. Before the sides are clipped up nails are a doddle,
as another poster has indicated.
If you are going to do that, then it is better to use the already
moulded stuff in the first place
- The trunking has a tendency to curl
Not after the sides have been clipped up.
Don't you believe it. It then twists instead.
However, the lid can be a problem in some batches where the grips
are not strong enough.
Especially after the trunking itself has warped and twisted
- It is dimensionally different to fittings for equivalent standard trunking.
Not a great problem. There are suitable corners and the like
available.
Rather stupid when it would have been perfectly simple to have made it
to the standard size.
There is usually a very slight difference between most makes of
trunking and manufactured bend covers. I have a large box with 4 or 5
different manufacturers fittings in and some will fit on trunking of a
different make, some won't.
Even more useless than I thought, although perhaps not since the
manufacturer can then obtain a product lock in.
