Title: Flat T-Molding
Post by: opt2not on January 29, 2009, 06:33:41 pm: Does anyone know of a good place to find FLAT T-molding, not the smooth bulbous type.

Similar to the molding on this cabinet:

Does anyone even carry this anymore?

I was looking for flatish black T-Molding (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=68544.0) for a cab. I haven't had a chance to order anything from them, but it seems a good source might be Outwater Plastics (http://www.outwater.com/).

I never got around to ordering anything more than samples from T-Molding.com so I never located a source for non-white flat T-Molding.

That makes sense. I had a 70-ish table that used a strip of Formica glued around the edge.

That'd work better if your slots weren't already cut. :-[

its thin laminate ,im sure it would cover a slot, and theres no slot on the cab the OP pictured
Title: Re: Flat T-Molding
Post by: opt2not on February 02, 2009, 01:55:00 pm: Well it looks like the consensus is that laminate is what's going on in that picture.
I might have to rethink what I want to use for the trimming.

Question: Any recommendations for a good place to buy laminate? I want to get some idea of what's available out there.
