Thanks--I'll give it a whirl on the back side of the trackball unit for a test (I don't want to totally strip off the existing stuff in case I can't get the new stuff to stick & line up well). After thinking more about it, I might also try jamming cloth in there (folding it over the insertion portion of the T-molding & tapping it in w/ a mallet) before busting out the hot glue. Thanks, -Jason |

Thanks for your help, Stobe. I got the red t-molding on my little X-Arcade trackball this weekend, using hot glue. It worked *almost* perfectly. There are a few spots where the t-molding isn't quite flush w/ the edge of the wood, especially around corners (even though I did trim away the inserted portion of the t-molding at corners). Most parts took 2 tries: fill the slot w/ glue, jam the t-molding in, hold for a while, watch it pull back a little when I remove pressure, yank it out so that it makes a bunch of snot bridges when I pull it away, coat the t-molding, re-smush, hold, then it was usually ok. Notes: 1 - It's tough to get dried hot glue out of textured vinyl laminate cover--wipe it off when it's still wet! 2 - The slots routed into the X-Arcade trackball are *much* wider than the barbs on the 5/8" t-molding from t-molding.com! Pictures will follow, eventually, when my cabinet is farther along... Thanks, -Jason |

Glad to be of help, although I learned that trick from this same website, so someone else deserves the credit. And I'd hurry up and trademark the term "snot bridges" before some semi-talented punk band snatches it up! -Stobe |

My buddy already called dibs on "Nose Grease." I can see those 2 bands touring together... |
