Replacement T-Molding not staying in slot - suggestions?
cmoses:
I am replacing some T-Molding on my project MAME cabinet. The original T-Molding was in pretty bad shape so I took it out and have since restored the cabinet. Now that I am replacing it with new T-Molding it slides into the slot very easy without much resistance. I am not sure if there is a something that I put in there with the T-Molding to make the fit tighter or if I will have to use some glue or adhesive of some type.
Can I get some recommendations as to the best way to keep the new T-Molding in place? I was hopping to get some suggestions from people that have run into the same issue.

I'd use a glue gun.

I've used masking tape wrapped around the spine and it creates a very tight seal. In really bad t-molding slots I've had to refill them with bondo and recut them.

I had issues w/ the far ends staying in the slot where they were going around corners. I used a little super glue and they haven't come out since.

I've used this method and it worked for me.

This is also a good idea. Wouldn't have thought of it. Thanks for putting another option out there. :)
