Hi Folks,

This is my debut here, even though I have been reading the group for a
while. I am in the midst of home renovations, and as each area nears
completion, there are little issues that need to be addressed. One is
finding a molding (or some other solution) to put between the
irregular tile edges and the ceiling in the bathroom. I assume that
it would be better not to use wood, because the area will obviously be
subject to humidity. Can anyone suggest a solution to this and
possible sources for same?

Thanks,
How much of a gap is there? Is it even through the length? Nothing
wrong with putting wood trim in a bathroom (it is used outdoors quite a
lot ) Just make sure it is primed and sealed/painted. If the gap is
even and narrow, paintable caulk would probably work fine.

The gap is certainly wider than 1/4 inch. I need to go back and
look. I'd say (but my memory is not great) that it is more than
an inch at its narrowest! And the tile tops are jagged. The
ceiling, too, I gather is not perfectly even.

I did start thinking that wood IS a possibility, so we will have
to see what will work esthetically.

Thanks!
