Cosmetic finishing of console... any ideas?

Recommended Posts

Just finishing up console of boat and decided to recess a square area which will eventually have a plexiglass door with breathing holes etc...

 

Anyways I'm looking for thin plastic corner molding to clean it all up.

 

I've seen 1/2" plastic corners at home depot etc. and have seen the rubber stuff for bathtub/sink corners but not exactly what I had in mind.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

I've included 2 images - one of rocker panel and one of my idea...

 

Basically cutting the top off a plastic waste basket exactly 9" X 12" would be perfect but the dollar store isn't taking custom requests! :whistling:

I would go with an aluminium J mold using the long side on the inner wall of the recess. Aluminium can be cut with wood blades so getting your miters shouldn't be too much trouble on a miter saw.

Yep, either J Mold or 1/2" angle will work fine.
