Help with T-Molding inside corners

(1/3) > >>

AMDman13:
I decided to T-mold 360 around the entire machine. Everything went pretty well, however I can't get the t-molding to snug into the inside corner (where the CP backs into place). I cut the spine down pretty darn good too, but there is still a small gap in the very corner. Now my CP box does not set flush against the cab.  >:(
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to lay flat?

Anyway, glad to be done sanding and paiting.

Thanks

A picture please!

Otherwise - I suggest beating the hell out of it. Or some glue plus beating the crap out of it.

ahofle:
If the CP is backing into it will you even see it?  I'd make a cut right in the corners if that's the case.

I would, but I leant the dang digital camera to my mother and she's in VA for a month!

Ahh! Me! :D

I know I would not be happy with it unless it's perfect. That's just the way I am. Thats why I must have sanded and repainted untill I was blue in the face.

Cutting it was the first thing I thought of and almost did it, but something told me to ask first. I find it hard to bang it since it is the inside bend (can't get to it with a mallet.

First thing to note is that with T-Molding, all inside and outside corners should have a radius to them and not be a very sharp corner. If they're a very sharp corner then it's always best to cut to the corner and start again from there with the next section.

If you do have a radius to the corner....Put hot melt glue in the routed slot... stick a broom handle into the corner, against the T-Molding, and bang the hell out of the broom handle with a big hammer or rubber mallet.  Always works for me.
