I built my own upright cabinet about two years ago. I've been pretty pleased with it so far, but now it seems to be calling out for me to do additional work on it. At the time I just painted it black and didn't bother adding any side art or T-molding, and now I'm beginning to think T-molding would go a long way to enhance its appearance. Then I searched the forums and noticed some posts about stick-on edge banding as a potential alternative to T-molding, but they don't really go into detail on how the two compare.
So I ask, does anyone have any experience using edge banding? Would it be a suitable alternative to T-molding, or is it "lazy"? I like the idea of avoiding routing out a groove if I can. Also, can anyone recommend a good source for colored PVC edge banding? All I can seem to find online is wood-grain veneer, and I'm thinking more along the lines of red or blue.
