    Is that the Tarafit one like this http://www.gerflor.com/int/floors-f...e-accessoire11/tarafit-corner-system,144.html or are you talking of another, I have the internal one which I made years ago for doing Lino self coved and that's the only time I use it. You could put a corner up with some waste weld it then trace onto paper how you want your butterfly to look then wrap it round your pre-made corner trace round the outside of your drawing, then cut out the butterfly and peel off the wall without splitting the weld open up flat onto another piece of vinyl and trace round that. Just a thought why buy what you can make.
