Title: T-Molding - Securing
Post by: Richardgregory on April 29, 2016, 09:34:08 am

Hi folks: 

I have a CAB that has the grooves for the T-Mold a bit too wide, so the molding doesn't fit in - this is just at the bottom corner of the cabinet on all 4 corners.

Anyone with suggestions on how to secure in place?   I have a concern on one corner as the T-Molding is cut short and is at the tip of the corner were it curves, so it springs up a lot, and will need to secure that part down the most.

I thought of using Lepage PL Premium Construction adhesive to clue it down.   Thoughts?

Thanks

Fill the groove with hot glue and press t-molding in and hold firmly until hot glue cools.  You can secure the tail end under the cabinet with a staple or two since no-one will see that.   The nice thing about hot glue is that it is pretty easy to remove if you need to.  You can also try to fold a piece of electrician's tape or duct tape over the t-molding barb to make it grab in the slot.   Or fill the groove with bondo and t a new slot.  Good luck.
