finish edges with piping

[Dan Rosa]

  piping —I tried to find leather piping for the wood edging on the doors and could not find any  my son came up with a piece of split leather hide, in black  I cut it in a 4 inch wide strip sprayed some 3M spray adhesive used for counter tops on one side and put a 3/8 rope on it and rolled it tight  simple quick and made the door panels look finished. this can work on the vinyl door panels to finish the edge using 1/4 inch or what ever size you think looks goodand if you use vinyl wow all he colors to choose from. Just a thought     Dan

 May be just a thought but it is a good one. I have used vinyl wrapped around rubber tubing when I needed the piping to be stiff but the rope would allow it to be more flexable to fit around sharpe corners. I also used staples instead of glue since they are hidden when the piping is installed. Good idea Dan, thanks for sharing it with us.
