molding question
begbie71:
I was wondering if there were any alternatives out there to the regular t-molding? I don't have a router, or the required bit, is there a valid alternative? I've got a desk here that has molding of some sort on it but it just seems to be glued on and is still stuck on pretty good after a couple of years. I've looked around on the net for something that may work but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?

if you don't have any tools to route that groove for t-molding...
I believe there another thing... you just stick it on...
I think its called... veneer... go Home Depot and ask...
just like most kitchen cabinets... the edge is that thingy....

Thanks, yeah I know the stuff you mean, I remember seeing it, wasn't sure how well it would work though, is there anyone that's had any luck with the veneer stuff?

well.... ultimately... t-molding will hold better cos of the T shape is holding on that groove...
but if you check like kitchen cabinets... they can be good for yrs....
(assuming normal household use.... not street arcade abuse...)
just make sure when you put it on, you'll have to do it right....
then I guess it'll work....
good luck....
ps: if you do go this way... can you post some pics ??...
;) ;D
