| Uneven t-mold router slot fix? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| bleemus:
After taking the t-mold off of the Klax Cabinet I am refurbishing, as leapinlew had warned me when he saw it, the router slot is off center. We were thinking that I might fill it in with bondo and sand it smooth and reroute the slot so I don't have to trim some wider t-mold and have it look like crap? Anyone else have any ideas? Bondo fill seems the best option to me. |

From your post I'm assuming that normal width t-molding doesn't quite cover the wood on one side of the slot? If so, could you possibly use a router with a roundover bit to put a curved edge on the remainder. It would still look sub-standard but at least the rough edge is gone. |
| Breaker:
Hi Bleemus, I ran into the same problem when I inadvertantly routed part of my control panel's edge off center. I tried the filler method without great success and would therefore recommend fabricating (or purchasing) some wooden strips which fit in the slot, securing them with glue. Once dry, sand/route flush with the edge and then proceed to re-doing the t-slot. Breaker. |

Some places do carry "offset" t-molding. Not sure what colors it comes in though. Have you looked at any of those yet? |
| leapinlew:
They carry some offset stuff at t-molding.com in 13/16th. Not sure how that would look. Perhaps order a sample and see how it fits http://www.t-molding.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=11&cat=4&page=1 |
