ahebron Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Could the strip be put on with sealer/glue. I imagine using tape would be difficult as it needs 2 reasonably flat surfaces to work well though you could put epoxy to build it up in the centre strip at the points you wanted to use tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Should work with finger pressure, the trim goes over the clip from one side, then clicks into place over the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
