Was hoping that cutting out the piece under the curve would force it to hold the shape, but the trim is only 0.5mm thick so it was asking a lot. Used 0.9 316 stainless wire to fill it all back in.In the Shed wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 10:37 pm Hey Scott
Good work there, the stainless trim will polish up nice. Did you use a steel hammer on the window trim, is that why the trim has stretched? What did you use to tack the trim back together?

Thanks Scott
