Obligatory Orange T-Molding

(1/5) > >>

Bitnerd:
Hey y'all,

I am getting ready order some orange T-molding for a pacman upright I am restoring.  Can someone tell me what is the best way to afix the t-molding?  Do I use some sort of adhesive?

Thank you,

Bitnerd.

DYNAGOD:
if anything i would imagine plain old wood glue would do the trick just fine.

Use the search and look for T-molding - I've seen several examples of this question and the answer for it.

Usually, it just gets whacked into place on the routed groove.
For a pac cab, you really shouldn't HAVE to use anything.
If  you run into problems getting it to stay on an older machine like you have, THEN you can use a LITTLE bit of adhesive to keep it in place on the trouble areas.

I had to glue the inside curves on my cab; but that was due to the router blowing out an entire layer of the plywood on my cab while cutting the slot.
The router bit I had worked perfect on the solid wood I tested it on; but was so close to the thickness of the middle layer of plywood that it took the entire layer out.

I personally used 90 second epoxy to glue mine because I didn't want to have to wait for a longer setting adhesive.

Hey NoOne,

That is exactly what I was afraid of.  The machine being as old as it is and has probably had 3 different sets of t-molding on there over the years, I figured I would have to use some sort of adhesive.  I will try to get get it to stay on it's own but if not, I will try the stuff you suggest.  Thanx again bro.

Bitnerd.
