T-Molding questions
(1/2) > >>
DNA Dan:
Do people typically run continuous t-molding on the sides of the cabinet completely under the CP?

Also what about the ends of the CP? I see some people make their CP box similar to the cab box, that is to say, the side pieces overlap and have T-Molding on the edges. This is nice because it eliminates a harsh edge/corner that you might bust your knee on, but I am unsure if this typcal.

Your thoughts?
BobA:
The area where the cp is placed does not need t molding. T molding where you are fastening the CP will probably just get in the way.  The outside edges of the cp however are usually banded with t molding.
DNA Dan:
I think I might have to use t molding on this area anyway because my cab won't fit through a doorway with the CP installed. I need to be able to remove it.
grasspuddle:
If you just need to remove the CP when you move, there isn't a need for T-molding. I am just going to cover up exposed edges when everything is installed. Also, t-molding will interfere when putting the CP in place and will probably be more of a hassle than what its worth.
DNA Dan:
Yea, I dont' think it would look good either to see the color there when you view the cab from the side. My dilemma is I am unsure how fragile the edge is going to be. I plan on laminating 5/8" particleboard with Wilsonart laminate. I mean is that stuff easy to chip putting the CP on and off over the long term? Perhaps I can protect that edge with a piece of felt strip so the CP is sitting cozy?

I plan on using 4 latch clamps to secure the CP from underneath. I read about the velcro method but prefer to not go this route.
