tmolding alternative?????
MameMe:
I have to disagree with SpiderMonkey. At least here in Canada I am finding it difficult to get a decent deal on plain t-molding. Our Home Depot doesn't even have the stuff on their shelves. The best options for me are 1) eBay or 2) t-molding.com.
Ebay: They have competitive pricing at around $1.00CDN/foot. Shipping is arounf $10CDN for 25', plus the border duties which usually kill us. :o
T-Molding.com: I think they are actually the same people selling the stuff on ebay, so its fairly safe to assume the same as above. ???
I know there is a company in Canada that resells for Happs, but I heard that Happs t-molding is no good. I'm sure getting the t-molding from Happs would be better for me as a Canadian and cheaper.
Any thoughts? ;)

None of the Home Depot or Lowes stores carry the kind of t-molding needed for arcades. Everyone is basically in the same boat. I've purchased from Outwater before. They're a lot cheaper than t-molding.com and certainly less expensive than Happs.

I was trying to find 5/8" chrome and Happ is the only vendor I could find that sells quantities under 250 feet. Anyone try the 5/8" chrome from Happ, is it no good?

I would also like o see some examples of rounded and painted MDF. T-molding may be cheap but no t-molding at all is cheaper.

MY personal problem with T-molding isn't the price of the molding, I like the look of it, I have a router. Everything is fine EXCEPT:
From what I've read on here, the router bit to install the t-molding is $30 and a fairly specialized/hard to find bit.
There is NO WAY I'm buying a $30 Router bit for ONE use on ONE application. When it comes time for me to need t-molding, if I can't find someone to borrow that bit from or find a cheap alternative, I won't be using t-molding.
