Flexible Moulding in the area?
Anyone know if there is a local in-stock supplier of flexible moulding in the tri-state area? I don't have time to wait for the online sites to deliver at this point.
Many thanks.
Ps. Molding or Moulding - take your spelling pick.

Which moulding do you need (base, chair rail, crown)?
Flexible moldings, which are paint grade, are made from resin cast in a form. There are a couple of shops in nj that have most of the Dykes profiles (among others): Zago(973)643.6700 and flexmoulding 201.487.8080.
If you are trying to reproduce an existing moulding a form will need to be made.
Depending on the profile and radius, it may be possible to kerf the back of the wood moulding, wet it with ammonia and bend it to your shape.

they have a big in stock collection at lowes.
they will order what they don't have from the brochure.
If you need very flexible, like to go a column or aver an arch you may have to go to dykes lumber.
