As above, bits of plastic being sold at extortionate prices, but surly you can buy it cheaper??
It’s just to stop light getting in around the sides of black out blinds. I can find plenty of U shape profile plastic, but not J shape

Eurocell
Does it need to be j-profile, would a u not work?
Yes U would work, but I can’t find any deep profiles (again could be looking in the wrong place
Electrical trunking?
I dont believw Eurocell really do stuff like that.
That stuff that moab linked to is certainly also made by eurocell, never even thought of soffit back trim, only thing I'd say, is its a bit flimsy. Eurocell have trade depots all over the country.

Wooden molding isn't unusual as an option either but will depend on the fabric spacing from your recess edge as to what is available.
