Title: 25/32" T-Molding?
Post by: D_Harris on March 10, 2011, 04:19:07 am

I'm about to order some T-Molding for two control panels which are made out of laminated MDF. (The same material used on counter tops).

With the lamination the thickness is 25/32".

No one has this thickness and I was wondering if I should just get the next larger size which is 13/16" and use an Exacto blade to trim it, or should I get the next smaller size which is 3/4" and make sure I install it flush with the top of the control panels.

Either way the T-Molding available will be 1/32" over or 1/32" under.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Bigger and let it over hang 1/64" on both sides, that's practically and RCH. If need be trim the top.

Thanks everyone.

That's what I figured.

Now does anyone know where I can find 13/16" green T-Molding? (I found the blue I need in that size at T-Molding.com).

Thanks.
