Any demand for blue 11/16" t-molding?
« on: January 18, 2006, 01:35:09 am »
I asked t-molding.com about getting the obscure size 11/16" in other colors (I would want blue). And he said he could special-order it if I buy the whole spool of 250 feet.

Would there be an interest here?

This unique width is the width used on Frogger-style generics (and maybe non-generics like Frogger itself?).

NO MORE!!

I don't need any.

Does the 11/16 vs. 3/4 really make that much difference? That would only be a 1/32 inch overlap on each side.
97.4 percent of all statistics are full of crap.

It's a pretty standard practice in the (non-arcade) cabinet biz to install t-molding for countertops and such oversize and then trim it to size with a razor blade or sharpened chisle by laying it flat on each finished surface and running it along the t-molding.  It's a very quick and easy process as long as you don't gouge your finished surface (laminate in this case) and it makes for a flawless t-molding to finished surface interface even if your slot isn't dead nuts centered.  This might not work as nicely with an irrergular surface such as painted particle board like I am sure many around here would have but I thought it would be worth mentioning anyways.

I'm using 3/4" on 11/16th" wood and there's no way I would attempt to trim it down. I doubt I could get a straight cut, and it would show. The whole point of t-molding is to hide the imperfections of the wood edges.

Regarding does it really look bad to have a bit of overlap? No. Doesn't look bad at all. But if I need to open my control panel, it rubs against the overlap (over time wears it down. makes it all ratty looking). Same goes if I need to pull the speaker panel out.

Try one of these trimmers. probably not as expensive as an exclusive run of molding.
