Do you place graphic arts into your bartop before you install the t-molding ?

Do you place graphic arts into your bartop before you install the t-molding to prevent stick out graphic arts at the edges?  I thought that putting in the t-molding after would cover up any graphic arts that may stick out from the edges.

I would always put art on before tmold, This is because the art is almost never an exact fit and will require some trimming. you dont want any sticking out and loose as that will ultimately lead to the artwork being damaged.

+1 to this!  I put my artwork on before T-Molding yes.

Yup, before t-molding. I like to fold the excess over the edge and fit it under the t-molding. This leaves a clean edge, without having to worry about trimming it perfectly, and you get a very pro look out of it.

Yes - much easier to run a sharp blade around the edging to trim the artwork before the T-molding is in place and that way you also don't wind up cutting into the T-molding while trimming.
