Offset Nintendo T-Molding conundrum

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Hello all,

I have some major resto to do on an original DK Jr. Nintendo cab.  This is a USA orange model with 5/8" particle board sides.  The slot is noticably offset and I'm starting to realize that finding white 5/8 offset-slot molding is not going to happen.  What is everyone doing with this little problem?

Is trimming 3/4" molding the way to go?  And how does one do this, with a razor blade?  I do not want any ugly overhang due to the slot.  Also, what size slot cutter is used, as I am renovating the bottom quarter of this cabinet with new particle board and will have to match the existing slots.

Thanks!

Works for laminate edges and t molding.

fill with bondo and cut a new t-mold slot.

By some strange happenstance, one side of my DK cab is offset and the other isn't...but honestly...to me, anyway...the offset is hardly noticeable.


man, i've missed you guys.
