deco strip help

I'm having problems with deco strip. How do I cover the end showing
the wood? Is there something I can buy? There was something in the packaging
that had 2 little pieces of red cardboard type material. Do you know what that
is for?

Re: deco strip help

The ends typically get covered by an wall cover panel. Are you talking about the rounded deco strip and are you using it under the wall cabinet?

Re: deco strip help

You can use the iron-on veneer pieces. It's tricky and you'll need to cut it with a very sharp razor after you put it on to make it perfect.

In one case I mitered the end at a 45 degree angle, cut another piece at 45 degrees, and glued them together to form a nice finished look. It's hard to describe...
