What happens here

After preparing the J-trim for the splice and inside corner, install the pieces. The prepared splice pieces simply slide together to create a continuous run. The inside corner piece is then folded along the cut line and installed, with the back lip fitting neatly over the existing J-trim.

Now that we got our inch cut out, we're going to put it to the side. And now we're going
