Following on from the fluorescent lighting thread:


I'd like to make a really nice lighting trough, end profile roughly
like:


Wall



----O


Try to imagine the O represents a smooth curve from the horizontal
to the vertical. Horizontal about 4", vertical lip height about
1.5-2"


To be painted in white emulsion inside and out and run continuously
around the room.


I've got a feeling that something might exist, but I can't for the
life of me track anything down.


Is there a product like this, or even just quarter round MDF that I
can joint onto a straight bit? I guess it will need to be 15mm or so
thickness to have the required stability.


Pre primed MDF window board from Wickes. About 200mm wide, so one
quick rip down the middle gives you both pieces. Cheap as chips.

4 inch pencil round skirting plus 2 inch square architrave would be
cheaper and quicker. Both available in MDF from Howdens -

Are they not trade only?
