Normally not, I think. You might want to glue the ends though.
Another thing to be aware of is sharp bends. If the bend is sharp you have to snip out sections of the "back ridge" (dunno the english word, but I mean the stem of the T) Sharp bends might need some glue too.

I had great luck with a rolling pin and lots of pressure. It went pretty quickly.

Or use a block of wood between the T-molding and regular hammer.

I had visions of you beating your cab with it! I take it you can roll it into the groove though ;)

When you router the slot for the t-molding, in order to make sure its in the center, take a small piece of scrap and adjust the depth so its near the middle. Mark it, or cut a tiny slot, then flip the wood over and see if it still lines up. You know you are right in the middle when the slot is cut in the smae place from both sides of the wood.
