hello. i bought a really cheap bed frame and all four corners have
sharp edges..i cut my finger really deep the other day just making the bed. the edges are also shredding up my bed comforter. can someone tell me if there's any kind of plastic or rubber mold that i could put on the corners? maybe like silly puddy consistancy that get's hard or something...thanks a lot. jessica |

possibley some JB weld, or maybe you could "dress" the sharp edges with a
fine file, and sandpaper. The later is what i would do though. Thanks, Tony D.

Try some foam rubber wrapped with surgical tape or duct tape.

Go to the hardware store, and purchase a medium grade file for metal work.
Also buy some medium crocus paper for sanding metal. Probably a 400 type crocus paper would be okay. File the edges to be smooth, and then use the sandpaper to make them more polished. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "jessicandle" wrote in message m... hello. i bought a really cheap bed frame and all four corners have sharp edges..i cut my finger really deep the other day just making the bed. the edges are also shredding up my bed comforter. can someone tell me if there's any kind of plastic or rubber mold that i could put on the corners? maybe like silly puddy consistancy that get's hard or something...thanks a lot. jessica |

If you purchased this bedframe recently and purchased it from a retail
store, take it back for a refund. If the manufacturer's name is on the frame, contact them for correction. If they aren't interested, report them to the government or contact the 'Marketplace' TV show www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/ or such like. There are probably thousands of people exposed to the same hazards as you are from these bedframes and the public should know about it.
