Some t-moulding manufacturers suggest using a "heat box," placing the t-moulding in a slightly heated environment before handling. I've noticed that the critical handling temperature for t-moulding is not far from room temperature: at around 50 degrees F, t-moulding is a nightmare, at around 70 degrees or so it's not so bad. About using a heat gun: use it if you have it, but a hair dryer may also work too. I have both, when I use the heat gun and hold it in one place too long, it starts too melt and emit a curious sweet smell (not good). I've been looking for a comprehensive manual on how to use this stuff but I never found any information at all so I had too teach myself. I've used several types of scissors, sheet metal shears and 4 different types of razors. (btw don't use the exacto with the screwdriver handle.) Has anyone tried using electrician's scissors with T-moulding yet? it seems perfect, but I don't want to spend money to try it out though.
