Wood/Plexiglass Thickness to Allow 3/4" T-Mold
<< < (3/4) > >>
RxBrad:
Looks like I can get my hands on some 2'x4' sheets of 5/8" particleboard, which should do the trick. The only part of my cab that'll be using this is the CP, so should hopefully be okay.

The 1" T-mold option sounds cool, but I don't really want to route out spots for all of the buttons. That, and I feel like 1/8" plexi along with 5/8" wood will probably be easier to work with.

I ended up doing what eds1275 did, only it was a full routed right angle so that the thicker part sits completely in the base of the cp box and it worked great.

I find myself suddenly tempted to try one of the methods where you rout the front-bottom corner of the MDF now. 

I think it all depends on when I can get my hands on an easy way to transport the 3/4" 4x8ft MDF.  The 5/8" 2x4ft stuff will fit in my car.  I need to recruit someone for anything bigger.  Stupid Prius.   :D
AzureKnight:

Where would you buy the large sheets?  Places like Home Depot will do a few cuts for you at the store so you can cut it into smaller pieces to fit in your car.

Agreed. I did this on one of my cabs. 5/8 ply should be easy to find at a lumber yard. Call around.

Second that. I used 5/8 MDO with 1/8 plexi on my CP and it worked like a champ.
