Title: T-Molding Question.
Post by: NatasNJ on June 21, 2003, 11:44:31 pm

About to build my first cabinet.  Making it out of 5/8" MDF board.  Now I see they sell 5/8" t molding and 3/4" molding.  What is the correct width you want to match up nice against the 5/8" MDF?

THanks..

Well if you're talking about the edges like down the side then you want whatever width your MDF is, but if you're talking about for your control panel then you may want something thicker than your MDF so that you can sink your plexi/lexan down into it (asumming you have some and plan on suing it).

Got ya.  Yeah I was referring to the sides of the cabinet front.  Not the control panel.  

Thanks.  Now to decide on which color..  :)
