| Radius and T Molding |

| Fitznab:
Hello all, Is there a minimum radius that t molding will bend with out issue? Visually my curve looks fine but I want to make sure its big enough before I cut. |
| severdhed:
you can do some pretty tight turns with t-molding...you just need to notch the spline so that it goes in properly.(cut little "V" shaped chunks out of the spline where the curve is) |
| Haterot:
You can also take the spline out completely. I wouldn't take out a lot (i.e. 3 inches) but with a curve or a bend you can take the spline out and as long as you have enough tension on both sides it will hold and if it doesn't or droops, I would run a small bead of hot glue to hold it once you got it molded right. |
| RayB:
I tend to cut out chunks so im left with wedges, but for really sharp corners, yeah, cut the whole thing off, except maybe some small protrusions |

The big problem is going the other way. With an inside radius, there's nothing to hold the t-molding in. That's where finishing nails come in. A few carefully placed nails through the side of the cabinet, and into the t-molding work perfectly. |
