molding question
SirPeale:
I think he's mad that you offended his bedspread. That wasn't very nice. After all, we're all here to enjoy retro things (such as old arcade games) so he keeps this bedspread around for nostalgia.

Not that I am defending Snaake "the arcade monitor evangelist", but did you not see his wink and smiles? Just a little lesson in reading, those are supposed to give you a clue he is saying something light heartedly.

Thats right..lot of the time I get $hit from people because I either didnt explain it correctly or bad spelling...
While I am actually trying to help the guy...some people have 0 clue on why we are even here(I never correct anyone's spelling,I dont have time for that crap :P).
As for molding..i was at Ace hardware today(need jigsaw blade)..I saw some new kind of molding that you can stain..
First you use VERY thin finishing tacks then some putty(stainable putty anyone?) and then stain..that what the worker down there told me..i wonder if anyone ever did this(cover tacks with wood putty then stain?)
Hmmm...anyone?
Wienerdog:
Man, I would use an adhesive before I tried to cover finishing nails with wood putty.
I guess nobody went further down the "veneer" route.
It is called edgebanding. There is an adhesive on the back of a roll of this stuff, and you can put it on with an iron. Here is one place that carries it:

There are special edgebanding irons, but you can use a regular clothes iron too. Use aluminum foil between your clothes iron and the edgebanding so that you don't get the adhesive on the iron.
Rocker has the wood banding, but you can also get white or probably black. Then again, you could just get the wood banding in then paint it.
