I'm searching for aluminum edging for dinette table.. Looks like a 1/16-1/8" lip on top with 3/4" overhang.. I searched on here but couldn't find anyone talking about it.. Thanks!!

Hi, From a vintage trailer guy located in Santa Ana, CA. It's good to see lots of activity here.

8' is not "usually" long enough to fit around a even a small trailer table without an "extra seam". It's best to search locally for long aluminum trims. It's called "nosing" in the cabinet industry, and comes in many different widths, and in 12' lengths. It's easy to cut the width down with a router using a bearing bit, and finish with a fine file. You can bend it "inside" for tables, or "outside" for sinks.
I have found a couple of cabinets suppliers that stock it, but when I went to pick it up, I found that it was "anodized in a grey semi gloss" finish. This finish is actually very durable but it's just "is not vintage", nor will it match the other polished trims inside the trailer. I have sanded the anodizing off with wet or dry sand paper, and polished the aluminum trim. It's easier to do this "before you bend it".

I bought my edge moldings at Outwater…they stock many styles in larger sizes, however, they have to cut it to ship UPS. If you live near their distribution facilities you can pick up what you need. www.outwatercatalogs.com/home/index.cfm |

I too bought from outwater, 12' is the longest they can ship and you'll need like 12' 8".
