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.

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)

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.

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.

No no no... cut pie wedge shapes. Or even rectangle protrusions are good enough to hold it. Don't cut it all off on inside curves.
