Hi All-

During my remodel I have managed to loose the Vinyl Molding that goes around the 1/4" drywall cover for the hot water tank closet. I have search high and low at the home stores, google has failed me. Does anyone know where I can get some?

Or have any ideas or a work around for the 1/4 dry cover?

Thanks!

Try taking a walk through the vinyl siding section at Lowes or H.D. and see that may work. For a couple of bucks you can get creative and try some things.

They make a plastic trim for those pebble grain FRP (fiberglass reinforced panel) used in bathrooms.The panels are"old school" like you would find in a gas station or seedy bar bathroom. Just ask someone in the lumber section for FRP panel trim.

3/16ths but should be able to squeeze over 1/4" enough to trim it

If you do not have a local Home Depot or your HD does not carry it, it is a very common building product and someone in your area should have it.
