Did anyone catch the fact that Drew was accusing ME of supporting the "Tim Taylor" method, while HE was the one suggesting that you whip out the power tools and remake a groove that was already there to begin with? That sounds an awful lot like the pot calling the kettle black, don't you think? |

Hey kettle, you're black! :D Actually, I always seem to read about epoxy and I see your sig with the duct tape. I recall reading something about you epoxying and having to open all orifices in the house to clear the stink out....don't remember all of it, but had a good laugh picturing you gettin' all loopy from the fumes! LOL nerd, if you're not comfortable with a router, then take the adhesive method (or if you're allergic to work like stingray ;D) because not only can you screw it up, but you might even take a whack at killing yourself. I actually hate using a router to do that slot, and quit doing it that way. I use a biscuit cutter to do it, instead, as it's got a plate to fold down against your workpiece and makes it almost fool-proof (unless you're adetermined fool) as there's no skill needed to do it that way. Set it up, test on a piece of scrap, fine-tune if necessary, and fire away when dead-on. If you have a router, get a router table. Use this in the same fashion. Less work IS preferable, but if there's already a gaping chasm to put your T-molding in, I'm pretty confident that you'll find it hard to get a satisfactory result with just using adhesive. I can't see your cab, so I'm going on your description, and I picture you having to glob so much adhesive in there to keep it 1)in place, 2)centered, and 3)neat/clean. If all else fails, slap a 350 with some headers in there, 4 barrel carb and....whoops, sorry Al. |

| DougHillman:
No offense meant, as each of us have our own difficulties at tasks that others may find simple, but I can't see how using a router with a proper groove cutting bit is problematic. You set it up with the guide bearing and zip zip, you're done. Doesn't really take any particular skill. Essentially the same as using a biscuit cutter. |

Lightly use some Clear silicone adhesive in the slot. Let it dry This acts a a filler and also the rubbery texture adds grip. RS |
