The plastic J-trim molding around our door is breaking up. Does anybody have any information on how/where/name to buy this stuff. All of the edging at all (and I mean all) that big boxes will not fit over the door opening edge. I thing we have tried all the carpet and craft stores too. I can't even buy it from McMaster-Carr and that causes me to wonder if it still exists...
I would not mind buying it from JimK, but the shipping would be a killer.

Thanks

Matt

Matt, Im pretty sure I used V-1 to do around the door. There are a bunch of other Vinyl trims as well to look over. Im pretty sure I waited for a warm day and with a rubber mallet it slipped over once it was started. I used the V47 trim on all the seams of the ceiling in my coach.

I had to go through a local builders supply to have them order it for me, and it was truck shipped in an 8 foot box. Its light so the shipping wasnt too bad.

The edge trim for 1/4" paneling worked well. The problem nowadays is that they don't sell 1/4" paneling anymore. It's no 1/8" or 5/32".

If you can find a shop that sells 1:4" it would work. I'll check around here.

I used automotive edge trim which I got from mcmaster-carr. I like it;
it's unobtrusive, durable, and helps seal the door against drafts.
Here's a picture:

Warren,

That sure looks like it to me.
Monday I will call and find out where a local seller is so I can order the little bit I need.

Thanks

Gary,

I will find out how to buy it tomorrow and let you know.
If you need any of the other shapes, we should try to bring them in at the same time.

Menards stocks V1 in white and a couple of others. V1 is labeled for FRP. Lowes has the same stuff in white for thicker panels.

Gary,

I have a line on the molding. They have a local stock, I will either go to get or maybe have them drop it here.
The door is 6' x 2-4, I plan to buy 3 for me. If you might like, I will share the split stick.
We are talking about 3~4$/stick.

Let me know.

Matt

I was looking at my molding and it looks to me like it is an offset molding to allow for the screen door.
Don't believe the V1 type straight molding will work.
I only have one side that is bad.
Will hold off for now.
Thanks

You need to get the correct offset moulding for a Birch screen door from Bob Burkitt in Cincy.
