Window Trim
Hello All,
Does anyone have a source for the flat stock with the rolled edge that dresses up wood edges around window openings on cruisers? The were chromed originally I believe. I'd be happy to find them in any material other than chrome if necessary. This is the trim that uses those spiral nails that have been discussed here before. Thank you.

Rechrome?
The stuff is pretty thin. Is it possible to replate it? I have been wondering about this too.

It comes in 6' sections @ $35pc. Shipping is not a problem. It is real hard to bend. I had a customer that made a wood mold and put a piece of solid wire in the lip and did a good job but it was time consuming.
Al bought all I had in stock. email me at [email protected] with what you need and I will call this afternoon to see if more is available.

CC Cabin window molding
I replaced the brass chrome plated molding on my 1968 43' CC Corinthian Sea Skiff with a product from Midwest Marine. That was about ten years ago and if they are still around, I believe that they are in Michigan. The stainless steel trim is called J Mold and is fastened with stainless steel Spiral Drive Screws, 14x3/4, also from Midwest.
Someone on here had found zinc plated versions of the nails and I saw a package of them in my local "ACE" hardware store. I think they are used in upholstery work? I have decided to go the tiny stainless screw route like the ones on the front windows. If for some reason I have to remove the trim it will be was easier than prying up those nails. They are a bear!! Zinc plating does not weather well over the long haul as I have come to find out over the years. Good luck!

Hey John,
Good catch! I had actually visited this sight looking for this trim but given the way it's illustrated passed right over it. Great to know it's still available. I am checking with a local metal fabricator who has a boat in our marina to see if he could make it up. I did some cursory measuring on my boat tonight and at $6/ft I could easily spend into the 4 figures to redo my boat. Curiously only the trim around the front pilot house windows was done with the chromed version, the rest appears to be stainless or aluminum. Thanks for your post.

I have no idea how many times I looked at that same image on Chris Parts and didn't recognize what it was. The outline you see looks like the profile of a weird trim piece until you click on it. Only then does it pop out at you.
Don't give up on Jim Staib, Fine Wood Boats, he's looking for more of the 6' stock, easier to ship.
