I hate trim!!!

[EZ]

:cry: Mary K try taking the wood trim to the shower with you. Kinda pre-bend by leaning on it some. Rather than a heat gun on the plastic a good hair dryer will probably work.

A little trim in the shower, eh? That's known as a utility shower isn't it?

No Deary, a little trim in the shower is known as a spa.

I may be using good ol Sailors Rope for the interior.. we shall see..
It fits nicely into the corners and can be coated with a Marine Clear Coating..

I tried a small section and it looks quite nice..

But I,ll check other alternatives as well..

That is a GREAT idea--the whole problem is securing it.

Kills two birds with one stone.

Except MY gaps were too wide to cover with thin rope lights, so i used the manilla sailor's rope.

Cheap and easy, and you can't see the finishing nails holding it up at all.

Not saying everyone WANTS this look, but it worked just fine for me.

I vote for the rope lights too. Kills multiple birds with one stone.
Oh, you want them to be stuck up there but also be able to get them down?

You will need some 1/8'' screw-eyes and some monofilament fishing line. Overbuy, and you will already have your curtain hangers.

I kinda like the copper tubing idea.........piece in a "T" here or there and you could have "track" lighting inside with a few simple fittings.

Mary, don't know if you have tried this idea yet, but I have heard of wood-strip kayak builders using heat guns to manuever strips into tight curves. They just apply the heat as they are doing the bending. Maybe you could soak the wood a bit first then use the heat gun to help with bending it into place. I'm sure I'll do my share of cussing when I get to this point in my build.

Good luck, whatever you chose to do.

Mary... If you are just using the trim to cover slight gaps between the wall and the roof line.... Why not use small flat pieces.. like1/4 or 1/8 x 1/2" and glue it to the roof line butted up against the wall? You don't need angled trim......

Mary, goto HD or Lowes and get screen molding. It's flat and thin. I haven't secured it yet, but I pushed it in the front radius with no problem. it lays flat against the ceiling and butts up to the side wall. Best of all, it's cheap.

Mary I used That Foam Composit trim and It Worked Ok as Long as your Very,very,very Careful. I Also used a Air Finish Nail Gun to Put Mine Up.
1" Nail I Believe.

Hey, I used that stuff on the edges of my counter top, as the channel for the top galley cabinets and for the edges of the opening to the TV nook in the cabin....

I didn't think of using in the corners...

I love the copper idea, but having worked on boats as a teenager

I have to ask - who's going to polish that stuff after it's installed? Not me! I did miles and miles of it when I worked on the boats.
