I have a problem:
I bought 3/4" Birch plywood, my cabinet structure is mostly complete, and ready to groove the edges for the T-molding.
I am not laminating the panels; I am staining them for a furniture-type finish. I bought 3/4" trim, to find that it's too wide (because 3/4 trim accomidates the wood + 1/8 laminate)
I then bought 5/8" trim, thinking it should be close, but not close enough: It is narrow so that both sides are just a bit exposed.
I cannot do the 3/4" T-molding and trim the edges, bc the type of T-Molding that I have is chrome, which is basically a gray T-molding with a chrome LAYER that surfaces the edge, so I would risk exposing and peeling the finish; any other T-molding would have worked, but I HAD to get the chrome!
I came up with an idea of beveling the inner edge of the panel with a router do that the 5/8 T-molding will fit the width. I know this sounds hokey, but I think it would give the illusion that the T-molding fits the width.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this issue? I am going to try a test piece on scrap wood, but it will require a lot of work, and I'd like to know if this ground has been covered by anyone before.
Thanks!
