Title: What size T-molding do I need?
Post by: rmusick on June 04, 2012, 02:41:53 pm

Hey can someone help me out here.  I am trying to place my orders today for some parts,  I am going to order some laminate for a cabinet (was going to paint, but that is one skill i dont have, tried this weekend and it looked like crap.) I will need to order 2 types, one just a stander 3/4 laminate but the other has to be enough to cover 3/4 plus Formica on both sides.  can anyone help?

Depends on the thickness of the material that you are making your cab out of.

at the site that corydee linked they have T molding that is 13/16" this is a slightly larger Tmold that the 3/4 that some of your cab is going to need like corey said, i am willing to bet that the 13/16th of an inch is going to be good enough for your 3/4inch and formica. considering i have no clue how thick standard fomica is, that is the best i can do for ya.

if you have a caliper that is capable of inside and outside dimension you can find the exact thickness you will need.

Thanks, I went ahead and ordered the Formica,  As you said unsure of the thickness i have seen it thin and i have seen it thick.  Ill get one of those calipers and check when I get it all applied

T-Molding.com sells 13/16" for this purpose. Buy it instead of the 3/4". Works perfect.
