Postby ZombieSoldier » Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:35 pm

Try Grant Whipp @ lilbear teardrops.

I think he will trace out the profile for a small fee.

Hope that helps

Screwing 1/2" schedule 125 pvc pipe to a piece of plywood with conduit clamps allows you to lay out a profile, see it, and change it at will. It only takes a few minutes. In has been said, in many fields, that if it looks right, it is right.

I'm not sure why a purchased profile would be any better.

I made a long piece of molding out of the thin stock they use on old screen porches down here in the "deep South". Worked really well and was very easy.
