TRUNK LID DUST BANDING
Also known as Edge Banding
Steel dust banding is typically
used around the bottom edge of the trunk lid, helps to keep dust out of
the trunk. It can also be used as strapping to run across the lid
or up the front of the trunk.
This banding is black steel,
fairly easy to bend around corners, and is sold in two widths: 3/4
or 1-1/4 inches wide. Thickness is 0.031".
We have this priced per
running foot, shipping and handling are included for destinations in the
USA. The pen is touching edge banding - that's what we're selling here.
This is not the same thing
as the thin metal that runs up the corners of your trunk - this only is
used on the lid or face of most trunks. If you need thin metal to
replace the old stuff on
the corners of your trunk we recommend that you scroll up this page a bit
to take a look at our brass sheet or black corner metal.
Again, this metal right
here is for the bottom edge of the trunk lid only. Sold per foot,
and only per foot.
Please measure carefully
- Dust Banding MAY NOT BE RETURNED because we cut it to the number
of running feet you request.
Note: See the nice
90-degree bend in the banding shown in the last photo? You too can
make sharp, snappy corners
like this - just clamp the
banding in a vise, bend by hand and then tap down with a hammer until you
have a right angle.
Please measure carefully
- Dust Banding MAY NOT BE RETURNED
3/4" wide Dust Banding,
Part number 34EB $2.00 per foot
1-1/4" wide Dust Banding, Part number 125EB $2.50 per foot

Please measure carefully
