Simple question about t molding...
(1/3) > >>
thedyingmatt:
So I've searched the board for t molding sizes, and just get a ridiculously large results page which most of it is centered around the letter "t".

So here's my question...

I used 3/4 inch m.d.f. on my bartop and now want to apply t molding.
What size would I use, I see so many sizes, including what looks to be the most popular, 3/4 inch.  So I was just wondering if I do indeed use 3/4 inch t molding for 3/4 inch m.d.f or if I want to go a little smaller or bigger.

Also, if anyone knows of where to look at a walkthrough of t molding installation, I'd be very thankful.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew

Yes, you match the width of the T molding to the thickness of your wood.

If you don't route the slot quite evenly, you might have a smidge of overhang on one side or another.  You can use a new, sharp razor to slice off that (or you can leave it if it doesn't bother you).

good call on the razor blade thing, i would have never thgouht of it.  not like i've needed to know that yet, but you never know.
TalkingOctopus:
You should try applying t-molding to some scrap scrap mdf first, adjusting your router so it cuts the slot exactly in the center.  Then you won't need a razor.
