Plastic Tile Trim Not Completely Straight

[danishblue]

Just a quick request for some experienced advice.

I am attempting to tile my new kitchen and although I have done a few small jobs before (pretty good result but very slow!) I have never done anything on this scale or using tile trim.

I have a couple of windows to do and wall edges with external corners where I was intending to use white plastic 10mm trim. On examining the trim I have (bought some time ago, knocked down in the Focus closing down sale) none of it is completely straight, all having a slight bow in them. It is relatively easy to bend back in shape but requires a little force. What I am wondering is:

1. Is it usual for plastic trim to have a slight bow in it?
2. Would the adhesive, BAL Green Star, be strong enough to hold it straight on the wall?
3. Could I fix it straight first by some other means, No More Nails, staples, tacks etc?
4. Should I just forget it and try and find some perfectly straight pieces!?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

the adhesive should hold it in place...

Put the trim in place then, as you do each tile, stick a piece of masking tape around the corner to hold it til the adhesive sets.
