trim question

[michaelb4348]

I have a bathroom to do and inside is a mirror which is inset in the wall so it has reveals but the top is arched and i need to trim all around this. Something i have never done is trim an arch how do i get the trim to bend it will be between 6-8 mm white plastic.

and out of interest what about if i came across this situation with metal trim?

Hi mate
You can not bend metal trim as for plac if you measure around the arch and take the point where it just starts to bend and cut the back of trim,the bit that sits flat on the wall.If you cut out V shapes in the back of the trim it will help it to bend,but dont over do the bend or it will kink

cut little slips out of the back of the plastic trim and gently bend it without kinking it never had to do a metal one

Bit pricey? What the hell is it made of to justify a £340 price tag? Titanium?
