Hi all

We were trying to cut the groove for the t-molding and screwed it up!  Its only a small 2 foot section on the control panel.  I am wondering if there is anyone who has tried to glue the t-molding to it by cutting down the strip that runs the length of the t-molding. There has got to be a way or a product that will work.  Someone save me from a long depressed state!

Go get a container of wood filler (or mix it yourself putty), fill the entire channel with putty, let harden a day or so, then attempt to reroute the hole.  

VERY recoverable (assuming you just got it crooked or too wide).

Sorry to hear about your screw up. A few questions and I can help...1 what kind of wood are you using?  2 I doubt very much that wood putty or any other type of filler will work depending on how bad the screw up is. 3 I know its a little late, but always practice on a scrap piece of wood before you do anything crutial. 4 How did you screw up ...was the depth not set correctly or did the router move on you. 5 I duobt that the T-mold can be glued on succesfully, you might get it to stay but in the long run it will probably fall off.  Sorry for all the bad news. Is it possible to make another control panel? Also it is easier to cut the t-mold on any piece BEFORE assembling it......... ie the sides,back or anyother place you want t-mold.

I agree.  Depending upon how severe it is (and whether it is on the front of back of the CP) you may be able to get by with filling in the bad spots with wood putty, leaving enough of the slot for the molding to fit in.  I've done that on some spots where I wasn't paying attention and let the router base come up at an angle, which chewed too much material.

Hot glue will also work in a pinch.  

Do you have a picture of your faux pas?
