Marquee retainer options

(1/8) > >>

not_so_handy:
has anyone ever used one of these as a retainer?  Thoughts about using one?  They are used for protecting wall corners.

They are fairly cheap and it states that they come up to 96 inches in length.

I have.  They work fine for small applications.  If I'm doing anything full sized I'll use metal tho.  Aluminum angel stock is cheap at HD too. 

BobA:
They work OK for a small bartop but on a full size cab you need more overhang.  Try the aluminum strips (light) that go along the sides of the walls when you hang a false ceiling.  They are  good size and cut very easily.  Found in your local big box store where they sell the ceiling tiles.

Personally I have always built mine out of wood. It will have a different aesthetic look on a cabinet though. I might give alum. stips a go next time around.   :cheers:

i thought about wood but since I am laminating the whole cabinet I thought it would look out of place.
