Flexible Trim Cap

[Mandy]

Does anyone know if there is a trimcap flexible enough to go around curves on a custom shape sign made of alumacore? The straight pieces from our supplier won't work. Thanks!

if you take a heat gun to trim cap, it becomes easier to flex

+1 on the heat gun. You can work it around curves without clipping it. I also use some finishing nails to hold it down where needed.

There's a shinier thinner type of trim, I get it from Pioneer.
It's more flexible but I think it might only be for ½" material.
I haven't ordered it in a coon's age, I wanna say it's called something like jewelite.

Thanks for the tips! The material is 1/2" and I will look into the Jewelite. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know.

What did you end up doing ? a client ordered a 3mm PVC sign in circle, and now wants us to mount to coroplast and put a trim cap --

We get trim cap by the roll, to go around our channel letters. it comes in various widths and goes around curves just fine. Unless you mean the edge of the shape (bottom side?), a heat gun should make it maliable enough to bend around?

rereading this a decade later, i'm thinking the OP was referring to them using edge cap for alumacore rather than trim cap for acrylic channel lettering.
i may have been mistaken, and went off on a rant about how trimcap flexes to custom shapes pretty well.
