I've just wet myself!
Very nice. I have to try it out.

Did you learn this from the great man himself.........Uri Gellar?

I like the look of that, never seen it before. Will have a bash. Cheers

Hmm, I want more pics.
Preferably ones taken with a decent camera rather than on that toaster or whatever was used!

I just want to see a bit more - honestly, this is new to me.
I can just imagine all the micro-cracks in the surface, so I want some close ups!

I'm going to have a play tomorrow with this...

Tip! When I'm doing it I use a hot air gun to heat the trim, for the same Redon a blacksmith heats iron,it's essential in my opinion, but you must use good quality trim or you will definitely get cracks that you could see from 10feet never mind micro cracks!

Well if you've touched a pipe, your a plumber, touched a wire a spark, cut a bit of stud your a joiner, the list goes on, but we're not! ( well I'm not anyway) jacks of all trades, we are tile masons as the yanks like to say lol, just a tip from my experience with the concerns impish was rightly stating lol

I've been doing this for years with all trims no need for heating the only trim it's not to great on is genesis. The chrome gets a slight bloom on the bend and is not as shiny as the rest of the trim. The easiest one to do is the beava trims.

 

[Mike ramsdale]

Thats good to know, I use Beava trim alot. Whats the technique? Cut back of ther trim, then what do you use to bend it round?
