Need some T-molding help
« on: September 11, 2002, 09:28:49 pm »
Hey all.

I have a bit of an issue that needs your help.  I have made a slip-up with the router on one of my two sides.  I fell off the center path that my router bit was travelling and I made an off cut.  To correct it of course, knowing it needed to be centered, I also went over the same piece with the router correctly centered (thinking somehow I could fill in the gaps or glue the T-molding in place).

Well I am here with a question.  How in the heck can I mount that T-molding in a section of the side where the slot is two times as big as it needs to be.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck

It is two-times as wide.  Not deeper.

Sorry for the confusion.

It might still be super glue.  But any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Two times wider? 1/8"?

As hard as i looked, I couldn't find a 1/16" slot cutting bit. The best i could find was a 1/8".

Hot glue! Works perfect. My t-molding looks great. Its tough to apply over curves but if you do a little bit at a time and let it set a bit before moving on it works fine. Even if you're a little wider than 1/8" it'll work great. It holds like iron on MDF and plastic.

I had a similar slip up when I did mine. I ended up having a section that was double routed for about 6 or 8 inches. What I did is I filled in a little of the extra space with hot melt glue and then installed the molding.

I can vouch for the hot glue method.  I over cut a T-molding slot once and had to do the same thing.  The hot glue held the T-molding solid.

All,

Thanks for the help.  I can't believe I forgot about the power of hot glue.

Worked like a charm.

Thanks again
