Art3d Black Flexible Trim: Finishing Panel Borders

The Item in My Kit

I bought Art3d Black Flexible Molding Trim as part of my camper van equipment.

The heater cover brought black sheet faces, triangular sides and a vent opening into one assembly. This molding belongs to the trim supplies I bought for finishing visible panel boundaries.

Comparing a Narrow Border with a Wrapped Outside Corner

I made the heater cover with a front panel and triangular sides.
I joined the panels around the angled platform and vent.
My trim purchases included a flexible black decorative strip for visible borders.

My Takeaway from This Job

A border line and a wrapped corner cover different parts of the panel. The Art3d and automotive moldings offer narrow faces, while the outside-corner trim extends the black finish around two adjoining faces.

A narrow border strip and a wrapped corner cover different faces.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

Specification	Product Detail
Material	Flexible PVC trim
Color	Black
Attachment	Adhesive-backed strip

Flexible molding finishes a narrow border where a cut panel meets another visible surface. Measure the route with the trim resting loosely in position, then cut the ends to meet cleanly at the corners. Prepare the bonding face before removing the backing, and press along the full strip rather than only at its ends. Around a removable cover, keep the trim joint separate from the cover joint so the part can still be removed. Black trim can visually connect several separately cut black faces.

Should Trim Bridge A Removable Cover Joint?

Keep the trim on the removable part or its fixed surround so the cover can still be taken off.

Two Alternatives to Compare

The automotive molding offers a different narrow face profile. Art3d's outside-corner trim wraps around an edge, changing the coverage from a border line to two adjoining faces.
