I use several of the Stanley Wonderbars, the small ones. The older shiny plated ones are the best but even so need a bit of modification. THe newer black ones are not as nice and are quite thick down close to the edge.
I grind the ends down so they are less than 1/16" thick. Not far back or you will weaken the thing. Do it as a rolling grind leading back from the tip and the strength will remain. Then it will be easy, relatively, to work it in behind the moulding.
I ground two like that and with the two can work the mounding away and then either another unmodified bar or some wooden wedges will hold the joint open.
