T-Molding Question

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Jabba:

Hi all,

Anyone have any ideas on how to install T-Molding around a 90 degree angle? When I try to install it, the molding binds up (i.e., the part that goes in the slot).

Thanks,

Garry

What you will have to do it make cuts every 1/4" to 1/8" in the back spine of the T-Moulding with an x-acto knife so it will follow a curve. This is what I did for my cab and control panel, and It works great.
You may also consider filling the grove with a little hot-glue right before you put the t-moulding in, that way it'll stay in better.

Hope this helps,

Do I just make a simple cut or do I need to cut out a notch (i.e., 1/8", 1/4", etc). Do you have any pictures?

Thanks,

Garry

Cut a notch. Take the molding and bend it at a 90 degree angle. If you cut you're notch big enough it won't bunch up or give you any problems. Really simple.

FYI: For right angles I cut about 1 inch of the spine out and it worked great.
