Soft edge, edge mould.

Its a bit out of favour these days.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

Thanks for the help everyone.
I'm not mad on the crappy stuff either Soundman but it might be the only practical way to have nice round edges on coloured melamine mdf. (colorboard)
As the sheet edges will be curved fitting solid edging would be a pain and blow costings out of the water,

I'm not keen on the stuff but like many things... it has its place and when its the right thing nothing will do the job as well.

How true, I used it on the edges of our octagon shaped kitchen table after I relaminated the top as well as on the octagon lazy susan that goes with it.
For that purpose it is excellent as it goes easily around the corners and is soft if you bump into it. Easy to install and also easy to keep clean.
Bob, another place you can get it is from Wilson & Bradley in Bell Street, Preston which is closer to you than Dandenong.

A slight hijak, apologies echnidna!
Would these two places sell the plastic T 'weather strip' that is inserted between window and adjoining door frames to seal it from weather?
The stuff I'm looking for has a 12mm 'top', and an 18 mm wedge shaped tongue, which is inserted between the frames.
I don't know what it is called and my local hardware and Bunny's don't stock it.
As usual, all assistance appreciated...

I don't think Wilson & Bradley stocks that kind of seal as they are a wholesaler/direct to the public seller of all kinds of kitchen / cabinet type of fittings.
It sounds like the rubber strip glaziers use to secure the glass in aluminium office window frames, so try one of ther big glaziers.
