Grill Gasket

Unread post by Surveyor » April 7th, 2017, 8:59 pm

Need to replace the black gasket material stapled around the inside and bottom of the front grill. Any suggestions?

I remember someone on this forum said they used the vinyl molding that offices use as a baseboard. I thought that was an excellent idea as it has a tapered edge. Cut and install with the tapered edge forward and the thick edge at the anchor points. Very tricksy and cheap too!

Cheers,
TJ

And it comes in all kinds of colors too! It is called Base cove if you are looking for it. I hate the stuff with a passion since I have had to put up thousands of feet of it but that is besides the point, it would be a good cheap solution.
