    Default tile trim for sharp curved corner on bathframe

    I'm tiling a bath frame (bath box) and triming the edges with chome/stainless steel trim. One of the corners is rounded but its a bit too sharp for normal curvable tile trim. Does anyone know where I can get tile trim that will bend to a sharper curve?

    Just to explain the curve, if you stand over the bathframe corner and look down at it from above, place the top of a coke bottle on the corner so that it is touching the two edges at either side (at 90 deg angle to each other), the curve on the corner is pretty much the same as the curve on the coke bottle top.

    any help much appreciated!
    thanks

    can you not cut the back out of the trim to allow it to curve tighter ??

    That's it Paul!
    Ger ol just cut the web pieces out of the back of the trim and bend it around your coke bottle.

    HI there lads! thanks very much for the replies, its taken me ages cos I couldnt log in till now. OK so you reckon thats the best way to go?
    Ok well Ill try that then. I thought that there might have been a specialist tile trim on the market that would allow me to bend it to any shape. Ive tried bending the chrome tile trim already and it tends to dent and not bend smoothly because the curve is a but sharp. But I guess if that's what you suggest as the best way to go then I'll have to try make it work.
    Thanks
