Popular Post MAX Burner Posted March 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2023 After replacing the protective strip around the “dog house” LPG tank cover, I realized I ordered enough for the spare tire cover. So after removing the cover when accessing the tire, I can place it flat on any surface without dinging the edge on sharp rocks or debris. It may seal the compartment a bit better now also. 15 Art, Diane, Magnus & Oscar (double-Aaarrf!) 2022 TUNDRA 2017 LE II; Hull #226 "Casablanca" HAM call-sign: W0ABX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a where you can ordered the edging off Amazon. 😊I used this on the edge of the dog house aka propane tank hood as well. And decided to use it on the fiberglass edges of the twin beds. 4 5 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” TV 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Retro upgrades - Truma Aventa 13.5 AC, Alcan 5 leaf pack, Alcan HD shackles & HD wet bolts, 5200lb axles.

John E Davies Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 MAX Burner - Nice job, neat and tidy. I guess Oliver has to skip small visual detail improvements due to cost and the extra labor involved. I protected my cover edges by wrapping the entire unit in stretch wrap, and storing it permanently on a garage shelf 😉 I love your shop floor.

How many linear feet did you use for the beds, dog house and spare tire cover? I am guessing something like 30 feet. Thanks.

I did not put this edging on the rear spare tire cover only the bed rail edges and dog house. It would seem that 30’ would get the job done.

Cameron Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Immediately got on Amazon and ordered it. I love this forum. In addition to helping me fix problems I have, it teaches me about problems I didn't even know I have.

MAX Burner Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yeah, this plastic edging treatment is very useful. Now that I've read Patriot's post, I wish I got more - I will anyway this stuff is cheap from Amazon. Totally a friction fit, FYI.

Katjo Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I’ve been looking for something similar to this to put around the upper interior cabinets, I’ve gouged my fingers so many times on the fiberglass edge taking things in and out of the cabinets. I think this would be too thick for the doors to close??….. but I’m going to definitely grab some for around the bed rails, dog house and spare tire cover. 6 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 2021 Oliver Elite ll Hull #732 Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks GJ I ordered an initial 20 feet for the spare tire cover and only needed 13 feet for the job. The "dog house" LPG cover edging was in good repair, so I actually had enough for that if it was necessary. The bed edges (which is a brilliant idea on Patriot's part, IMHO) will take 12 feet to cover - I've ordered 10 more feet from Amazon.

I don't know the exact type of tape that they use, but on fiberglass boats I've seen a cloth tape applied to the raw edges of fiberglass openings. It would need to have a substantial adhesive backing. I'm thinking possibly a fiberglass cloth tape. To find the right thing may be a trial and error process. Quick search found this. It's not cloth but is designed to hold up to moisture exposure and permanent use. https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Decorative-Sealant-Bathroom-Protection/dp/B0BC4NL2XJ/ref=sr_1_70_sspa?crid=3QUZHKFMEOTNV&keywords=edge%2Btape&qid=1680097392&s=industrial&sprefix=edge%2Btape%2Cindustrial%2C96&sr=1-70-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQUEwQzNZWDdBVkFQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTU4NTIyM04xMjFYVFI4Qkw5TiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODgyMTg5MlkzV0lZS0UzNEpXOCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2J0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 4 What's today?............. the most frequently asked question as a retiree 🙄 Chris and Stacie Neuhaus Greenfield, Indiana 2021 Ford F350 7.3L Tremor (Redzilla) LE2 #1373 - Ordered 10/21/22 - Delivered 05/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The edge guard would totally work for your application. The cabinet door closes without obstruction. You may need to heat up the edge guard material with a heathen to make it easier to go around the corners. Good luck - post pix of your upgrade!

CnC Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The protective tape Oliver uses around the pantry edges would be a good choice - haven't looked for it but I bet it's available on Amazon.
