Has a non setting adhesive so will hold itself looks smart too. One of my fails on my first test was the edge trim was just the push on stuff and not gripping he yanked it off.

I used Woolies http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ for edge trim. They were very helpful and sent me samples of a few different types. I used 267-BLK for thicker edges and 304 for the edges of aluminium panels. I've also got some R100 for some panels I want to finish with smooth edging.

There are some pics in my gallery 6 below.

Cheers

Dave

Try Seals + Direct as they supply rubber U channels and self grip sections. I used the ET1537 on my cycle wings.
