Im finishing another one this weekend with auminum strips from the box store but they bend and break too easy. I break one everytime i wheel it out of my garage. I may have to keep this one, my son got hold of a red spray can and painted the side today. So i am hoping that reular exterior paint will cover it up. i gotta email steve about his puffing he put some sort of rubber stuff on his

If you are using aluminum, are you annealing it first before bending??
Check this for info on annealing:

...goto your local RV place and get some RV corner molding...it should already be "dead" soft and ready to bend...if you use al angle from the box stores, you will have to anneal it first........

you could use duct tape, and cover it with the shiny aluminum foil tape...that would stick super good, just be sure not to snag or tear it.
good luck!

I used wood trim and covered it with marine epoxy. Used thickened epoxy to fill any cracks or gaps too. On top where the trim covers a seam I built a dam on all edges of epoxy to keep water from forcing it's way in.
Kens, you might look into Architectural Epoxy too. It goes on like putty and remains lightly flexible. It is intended to fill wood that may shift some.
Good luck.
