They shouldn't take that long, it's just getting use to it. I suppose if you don't do a lot of carpentry work it might take you a little longer to get your head around it but plastic trims are very cheap so easy to practice on, a little bit of sand paper works wonders if your walls are not a perfect 90 degrees

I don't think plastic trims do make a job look crap. All products have a time and a place especially if you are trying to hide the trims and not make a feature of them. I prefer aluminum but i'm not adverse to using plastic if the job calls for it

Not sure they are on their site but I got some 8mm to match the 8mm cream & white trims - Genesis, so would imagine they have them to match all trim sizes. Had the chrome ones off them too. Think they are about £2 each

Sorry but I think they look terrible. Would use the aluminium ones to avoid sharp edges but otherwise 3 way mitre looks way better.
Only takes an extra 10 minutes.
