I'm planning on making my cabinet out of plywood, mainly to keep the weight down and so I can stain it. Anyone use T-molding on plywood? I am a little concerned that the slot will get messed up, I was thinking I would probably need to glue it. Any tips?
Thanks,

Possibly. Plywood isn't as resiliant as MDF in terms os instaling and reinstaling t-molding. It'll deteriorate faster if you remove the t-molding over and over.

Never tried in on plywood, but what I would do is get a small scrap of the plywood, and a small peice of the t-molding and see what happens...that way you get an idea of what your getting into.
Good Luck

whyn not just sand round corners instead of using tmolding
and stain that too

one note.... on what seems to be lots of cabs I notice that at the end of a t-molding run they put a finish nail in the end to keep it down...

stained edge grain on ply looks like crap...to put it mildly in a nutshell..:-)
the diiferent layers of plywood will be different materials, and will take stain very differently..you'll get some plys (layers) that turn black, some that stay almost white/yellow and varying degrees of colour in the middle of black and clear....with a light stain colour some plys will turn damn near neon yellow.. :P
try a piece of your particular plywood with your stain and see if you like it on the edge...
