Flexible Fabric Fillet

Post by Roboframer »

I bought $400's worth of these flexible fillets from Franks Fabrics at WCAF Vegas last year and have only just started using them!

They are basically a silicone cord wrapped with fabric chosen from Frank's range and made to order. In profile it looks like an i and the leg has double sided tape burnished on to it. All you have to do is make a few snips through the leg of the 'i'' where you want it to follow a curve, be it like this, a complete oval/circle, an arch, an arch with shoulders. whatever. Or it can be mitred for square corners.

The rest - Larson Juhl 'Gramercy' moulding - artcare 'Indigo' bottom mount and 'Luna' top mount. Nielsen Clearcolour plus UV glass and my daughter's 1st class honours degree :D

I've been using some of those too, John. The gold and silver metallic ones are really nice and I sometimes use them on plain rectangular openings.
The only thing I don't like is the cost of getting them here. It about doubles the price per foot!
