Rubber U channel

Post by tnowak »

I need some thin wall U channel to go around the edges of an 1/8" thick perspex window.
Existing rubber is approx. 1/2" high and approx 1/16" thick on sides.

Anyone any ideas who may have something like this in UK?

Thanks

Tony

Would this be any good? The available dimensions may not suit your needs ....

I've often thought this could be handy stuff!
