How many feet of t-molding for a Lusid cabinet?
(1/2) > >>

I am sure this has been posted before, but I was not able to find any specifics via search or in Saint's book. How many feet of t-molding is usually required for a Lusid cabinet design? The t-molding would be going around both the front, back and control panel.

I did a very rough and hypothetical calculation and ended up at around 45 feet with some to spare. Seems a little high to me, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance.

lol, Havok.

I made a "lusid style"  cabinet and calculated  about the same amount for a full wrap.  First I ordered the a good length in feet, but it was shipped in two lengths.  Now, because I am perfectionist, and I couldn't stand it having seams, I ordered twice as much the second time around.  Now i have some for later maintenance or to start fixing up my other cabinet.

I built a Lusid also, I ordered 40ft of molding and had plenty left over.

If you're unsure, take a tape measure and loosely fold it around all the needed edges of the cabinet and go off that. It always seems a lot, but if you think of an average cabinet at 6 foot high, that's 6 foot front and back, on two sides, plus around 6 foot round a large control panel....... over 30 feet already, not counting all the curves and contours...

Better to have too much than too little, although the stuff can work out expensive.
