    The L shaped used to be quite difficult to get hold of in plastic but most places seem to do it now.

    thanks for the replyss guy ive already started to use the rounded trim
    but i will use the square or l shaped one for future jobs
    do you cut the rounded trim lying flat with the rounded bit facing away from the cutting block?

    Stand it upright for window mitres, lay it flat if you are doing, for example, the top of a box section.
