T-molding and rubber mallet

<< < (2/3) > >>

RTSDaddy2:
I'll second Minwah on that one though...I've used a towel and hit the stuff lightly and still have places where it looks "uneven."   For now I've decided it just gives my cabinet "character"  :D

I used the towel method with a regular hammer, and mine looks great.
The two things to be careful of are banging too hard, and getting the molding in too deep.

I used VERY soft taps, and just kept tapping until it seated to the correct depth.
That way I didn't ding the molding in a particular spot by hitting too hard, and it didn't go too deep because it took more than one hit to get it where it needed to be.

I haven't installed any t-molding yet, but I don't understand how it can go in too far? isn't the underside next to the spine flat?  I would think that you would just push it in until it's flush, and it shouldn't go in any further.  Is that not true?

javeryh:
That's how I did it.  It's pretty flat right now but it looks very even.  I can see how some people might want it a little more rounded though...

jmelan:
I used bubble wrap made for packaging glasses and dishes that i had lying around after a move with a regular hammer.  The towel idea would seem to work the same way

I noticed very little denting of the t-molding, but obviously using a rubber mallet with the bubble wrap would have been optimal
