I happened to have a few feet of leftover plastic wall channel from the drop ceiling in my downstairs bathroom. It's white plastic, 90degree, 1 inch on a side. Works fabulous! Thank you again for the tip! Oh yes, I also cut a slice of Masonite about 7" long, 3" wide and put a 1" hole in it to hold it. Pic of both attached.
