Thanks Fozzy,

Maybe I will just pull up the T-molding and cut it. Of coarse I will need to use glue now anyway since I have cut away a good chunk of the spine.. Dang! Something told me cut it in the first place... Maybe I will try to live with the gap... Although it's already nagging at me to fix it!!

When I was painting I was having trouble perfecting one of the cabinet's sides and I kept sanding and re-doing it.. My friend said, "Why don't you just put that side up against the wall?"

Oh if I could only have that mentality!! ;D

I have 0 experience with T- molding but I have worked with vinyl products. I would try heating up the area being bent with a heatgun or blowdryer to soften it enough to take it out of its natural state causing it to bend easier. When it cools it wont try to pop out of the groove.

Okay guys just an update.. I think I have decided to just leave it. Today I installed  T-molding to the CPT and it also has T-molding 360 around to the back.... As it turns out the back of the CPT's t-molding sets flush with the cabinet's inside corner's T-molding. So, now it's just the box that doesn't set flush...

for future reference, what i did for tight inside radii is to not cut the rib off the t- molding but rather make lots of cuts the full depth of the rib so that when you bend the t-molding, the rib fans out. im sure theres a single word to describe what i have just described but hopefully you know what i mean! then i used 5 minute epoxy in the slot and just held the t-molding in place by hand until the glue had set. the epoxy wont really stick to the t-molding as such but of course sticks amazingly well to wood and mdf. thus it will lock the rib into the slot...

Absolutely, cut slits for inside, cut pie slices for outside radi.
