DIY Flex Molding

We got the call to remodel a fireplace, hearth and full wrap mantle. Unique in many ways, this full wrap fireplace mantle would have a pair of arched recessed panels in the center below the crown top sitting above the columns on both sides of the fire box.
No exotic wood species here though, my clients wanted it painted white. So we built her out of 3/4" MDF [multi-density-fiberboard] with some various El & El moldings to create something extraordinary!

Any above average painter can fau out this resin flex molding too, so even all the real wood lovers can enjoy a radius molding appearance without the extra shop tools and mind bending , wood bending tasks. Whatever the type of molding you are using, IE., baseboards, casings or even a 5 1/2" crown molding , then the flex mold can bend - curve or wrap around to meet up with any other common or custom molding your using.[caption id="attachment_1380" align="alignright" width="225" caption="MDF full wrap mantle with Flex Moulding"]

Underneath the arch , a piece of flat stock was implemented to return and butt into the face of the travertine stone that was used on the wall and hearth areas of this fire place.

This resin pour custom flex mold is highly pliable and very much paintable or stained. Acts like wood when cutting - nailing - sanding or glueing , for any DIY 'er thats ready to make a difference!My-diy.net[caption id="attachment_1382" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Flexible flat stock to aide in the return"]
