I make the occasional frame for my Mother's oil paintings. Not my favorite thing to do, but it makes Mom happy, so...
but I'm very frustrated, because i can't replicate those fancy molded corners typically seen on expensive frames. I'm talking about this kind of thing:

I've seen something on YouTube about making some kind of latex mold, using an existing frame, but that's a bit beyond my understanding right now.
It seems to me there must be some kind of commercially-made product, perhaps made of a flexible material, that one could cut to size, then bend onto the frame & glue in place. But heck if I can find anything liek this. I've been searching for weeks, and can't find a bloody thing.
Any ideas?
If not, how might you go about creating something like this?
