t-molding: happ vs. t-molding.com

[SeanFu]

Just thought I would pass this along...

I just put the T-molding on my cab, all the way around both the side panels.  I used 3/4" smooth black.  I did one side with a roll from Happ and the other side with a roll from t-molding.com.  There is a difference between the two, and the t-molding.com stuff looks much smoother and has a more consistant surface.  The Happ stuff has a little bit if a ridge in the middle and for some reason I couldn't get it flattened down as consistantly.

I had assumed t-molding is t-molding, but there is some differences between suppliers.

Also - I had pretty good luck using a rolling pin to install it.  I just rolled along with a lot of pressure and it slipped right into the slot.

I have to agree.

So far t-molding.com has the best quality I've seen.. I had some small inconsistencies w/ Happ black t-molding before.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for the tip!  I appreciate it.

I just ordered smooth orange t-molding from t-molding.com, and smooth black t-molding from Happs and have installed it on identical pieces of 3/4" MDF.

The t-molding.com stuff fits perfect and installed perfect (into 1/16" slot). The Happs stuff was difficult to install (didn't want to squeeze as easily into the 1/16" slot) and wasn't exactly 3/4", some of the edge of the wood shows (just a little, less than 1/16" for example, and is inconsistent at that).

I would have to say the t-molding.com stuff has worked out better for me too.

I was just going to order some 5/8" chrome T-Molding from Happ and now I am reluctant.
I looked at T-molding.com but they only had the chrome in 3/4".
