Regarding the TMolding size.  Its absolutely fine to get it a touch big and trim it.  Post in the woodworking section has good tips that I followed to trim mine and it turned out fine.  Basically you need a really sharp chisel, held at 45 degrees and slide it around holding it at a precise angle.

This works fine unless you are using chrome/gold t-moulding as it is generally foil covered white t-moulding. If you trim it you will be left with a white edge.

Ah good point, I hadn't thought of that.  I was using dark blue, which was fine.
