I came up with this. As well as some protective film, I used this 'Z' section EPDM from eBay. Let me know your thoughts. I'm happy, anyway!

Hah! Thanks for the kind words.
Frankly, I love doing this sort of stuff, but I have 3 kids, and I literally have to steal myself away for a few minutes here and there.

I was only joking! But you're right, even the small jobs are very satisfying.
