KrawDaddy:

Is wetting the wood safe for MDF?

Thanks for all the advice guys, with all the suggestions, I know I'll get something to work!

Yep, I did the same as Nivo did and it works like a charm. No glue = no mess. I use glue only as a *last* resort. Sometimes you have to use glue. Example: You're working with old,used t-molding and the retaining clip side of it is permenantly squished and no longer has enough spring in it to hold the molding in the slot or if you're replacing t-molding on a 20 year old game with a 20 year old slot that has widened and is sloppy due to age. If thats the case then I use a hot glue gun with glue sticks that are labled "stringless". The stringless type allows you to pull the gun away without having hot glue cobwebs stringing all over everything and making a mess. I always try shimming the slot first though. I find that lining a worn slot with electrical tape sometimes closes up the slot just enough and gives the t-molding retainer something to grip on to.
