| 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. |
