Flexible adhesive plastic trim
My new integrated fridge-freezer came with a length of flexible soft white
plastic trim: right-angled, with one leg wider the other and an adhesive strip down the wider part. It was to cover any gap between the edge of the fridge-freezer and the side of the housing cabinet. Does anyone know if this trim (or something similar) can be bought separately? Various Google searches have turned up rigid hard-plastic equivalents but not an exact match. I'd like to use it to cover an unsightly gap between the side of a cupboard and an uneven wall. Many thanks. |

Search for "upvc flexible trim"? Thanks for the thought. In fact, that's one of the things I tried. It throws up several similar products but no exact matches: ideally I'd like the same sort of extreme flexibility as the fridge-freezer trim, which the search result items don't appear to have. See, for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Plast.../dp/B00GOUFNFM which is actually something I've used before but isn't quite right for my present purpose. |

Many thanks. Just a suggestion, which might not be what you are looking for... You can get white self adhesive bath sealer on a roll. As it unrolls, it can be folded to a right angle, with the adhesive on both faces. The adhesive is quite thick and goohie, will stick to anything once pressure rolled on to spread the adhesive. |

Thanks for that: I've now found several retailers who stock it, and in different widths to boot. Depending on just how flexible it is, it's the closest I've so far seen to what I'm after. I'll take a look. |
