I am making a 7ft by 4ft arcade marquee wall and thought it would look good between each marqeee , better than electrical tape for sure ...

Keep in mind that it's curved on the edges...  so it was really only meant to hold one marquee (using 2 pieces on the top and bottom); not 2 at the same time on either side using one piece.  If I were you I'd make something out of T-molding that's bigger than the standard 3/4" size.

Something like this maybe:

what I would do is go to a hardware store (big box) and get some right-angle aluminum stock. I got 8ft of it for less than $5 for my marquee retainer. I just primed it with some rustoleum flat black and it fit with my cabinet's motif. You can always paint it another color if you want.

if you are doing a mosaic of marquees and want to put retainers in-between you could always double this up and form a "T" shape, but that might be a lot of waste. I didnt check into it, but the stores may have T shaped aluminum stock, or you could use the metal framework that is used for suspended tile ceilings.

Or not... whatever...
