Also just curious, you from SC?.. |

Offset the slot in the 3/4" MDF by 1/8" toward the side you plan to put the plexi on. Then hit the edge with some black paint before you apply the T-Molding. You'll never notice the 1/8" black edge below the molding (unless you are looking for it, of course) and your plexi will be seated in the molding like you want. RandyT |
