Kitchen Worktop Trim Replacement

Whilst we were away the other weekend I wasn't too careful with the positioning of the Beauclaire oven on the hob resulting in melting the white rubber trim that surrounds the kitchen worktops

This not surprisingly was a bit of a b*gg*r!
Searching around on tinterweb revealed that this stuff was not available from the usual sources and I could only find it elsewhere in odd colours.
The solution was remarkably close to home, the camper in fact! Westfalia trimmed their units in a very similar material and surprise surprise it was available by the metre from various VW specialists I sourced mine from NLAVW via Fleabay. Wesfalia use a thick and thin rubber t section depending on the location the one you need is the thin. So ordered it duly arrived

The old trim simply pulls of once you gently start it with a crew driver. Be careful the trim can be more firmly attached to the laminate than the work top, so bits of this can break off.

To attach the new trim simply feed it into the slot and tap in place using a rubber mallet.

 Two top tips here. Firstly cover the face of the mallet in duck tape or similar this keeps the trim clean.
Secondly if you can take the worktop off it makes getting a smooth finish easier than trying to hit with a mallet at various strange angles.
The end result is shown below. A pretty straightforward operation and a better fit than the original!
