That is what I would do. In fact that is what I did do. I used 5/8 for my cab and then wrapped it in black vinyl, thinking that the vinyl was thick enough to bring it up to 3/4. The 3/4 t-molding I used hangs over each edge the tinest bit and drives me crazy but noone else notices it at all.
Dawgz Rule:
Having just built a cabinet with laminated plywood for some portions, I would have to say that 3/4 inch should work just fine. I would recommend painting the areas where the T-molding will be applied with a matching color. This will hide any imperfections should the molding be a little off center.
MajorHavoc:
Rockler sells a tool called a double edge trimmer which may be just the ticket for your dilemma. This tool will trim molding which is too wide flush with the actual thickness of the wood, it features dual blades which trim both edges of the installed molding simultaneously. I cannot personally speak to how well it works but I recall a thread a while ago that mentioned this type of tool and thought I'd pass the information along.

If this is what you end up doing, make sure you try on scrap first. If I understand correctly what you plan to do, you'll most likely cut through the "show" veneer and into at least the glue if not the next veneer and that will look like dookie.

Thank you all for the suggestions!! I am new to this forum, (although I have been browsed them forever), and am amazed at the level of support.
I appreciate all your feedback on this issue. I'll finally get some time to try a few of these ideas on some scrap wood a couple weeks from now. I will follow up with some pics and let you know what worked.
Again, THANK YOU ALL!
