My tmoulding question......... :(
Excretious:
Hey guys, i just saw a recent post about ppl whove used a 3/32 router bit for theyre tmoulding and what they had to do to make it work..........
Im in a worse predictament......... i went to three different places looking for the 1/16 bit. No one had it nor could they order one that small. So i found a Rockler woodworking store near me and figured theyd have one, well when i was in there, the guy helping me swore that the smallest slot cutter i could get was a 3/16". i argued for a bit but then gave in because surely this guy would know better than me.......
So i routed my whole cabinet with a 3/16 bit and you can imagine what that looks like :(
My question is.......... will hotglue gun do the trick? or should i consider woodfilling my whole tmoulding slot and then router the whole cab over again with the correct bit? Ive since ordered the 1/16 bit from MLCS as pointed out in the other thread (wish i woulda saw that before i got into this whole mess).
Hopefully theres someone else whos made this mistake and can tell me how i can make this work.
Thx in advance :)

someone just recently posted that they used a 1/8" slot cutting bit, and hot glue seemed to be the answer. You'll need to be quick with it, and I'm betting it won't be too much fun, but I would imagine you could get it to work. Just be sure to keep the T-molding flush with the sides of the wood since you know have 1/8" of "wiggle room" so the potential to have wavy looking tmolding and tmolding that is over the side of the wood is there.
If I were you, I'd consider wood puttying the slot, espeically since you've bought the correct tool for the job now. It's a lot of work I know, but you'd probably be happier in the end.

If you think it will work, I have no problem woodfilling the slot.......
Im just confused because seeing how the 1/16 bit makes for such a tight fit.......... wont the woodputty start chipping and cracking when i try to pound the tmoulding in?
Thx for the quick reply
:)

What were you thinking? Listening to some guy in a store! You should know that we know better! :D
My father in law also tried putting that bologna on me. I was like, "Allen, I've SEEN the damn things. Look! Here you can buy them on the Internet!" and he still wouldn't budge.
