what is the proper name for the joining strip used to join sheets of
hardboard called a sort of 'H' section? Often seen on the back panels
of flat pack furniture. Also any ideas for suppliers?
Why? well I need some lengths in black to join panels in a VW van I'm
helping to fit out.
Thanks
Steve

Its been some time since you're question but I am replying anyway as it may
help others looking for this product. Let me say Ive had quite a job to find
it without buying large quantities and paying delivery charges etc. I needed
10 metres of the stuff. Its called Ariel Hygiene 'H' section joint trim. I
got mine from Transtools Ltd Hunmanby Industrial Estate Bridlington Rd
Hunmanby North Yorks. About £6 for a 2.4 metre length. I don't know if they
will deliver to the rest of the world so to speak but what is useful to know
is that they are pvcu suppliers . Their stuff isn't really made for hardboard
but for pvc trim on buildings. Its actually 2.5 mm deep but it takes 3mm
hardboard no problem. They will tell you where they get theirs from or you
can try a pvc supplier instead of searching for 'hardboard joint strip' as I
did. Hope this helps someone out there.

Yes back in the day this stuff used to be everywhere in all sorts of
patterns but mostly still white or black. A shop no longer in business
called Transatlantic plastics used to sell loads of it, and the decorative
hardboard called laconite so you could make all sorts of things with some
wood and glue.
