Brittle orange t-mold from a pacman cabinet - how to remove
leapinlew:
I'm having some issues removing the orange t-molding from a pacman cab. It's just about disintegrating into small chips and leaving the tail of the T-molding in the slots. Anyone have any suggestions?

Needle nose pliers?

Maybe a bit of heat?

Pliers aren't working - it's breaking off in 1/4" pieces.
I was wondering if some heat would make it more pliable, or hold together. I'll try to take a hair dryer to it. Thanks for the tip.

Give it a shot, but I'm doubtful it will help much. If it's falling apart that badly, there's probably little that can be done to keep the pieces together.
You might end up just having to pull off what you can and then carefully use a "linoleum" or other hooked knife to pop out the pieces. If they're stuck in there good, the other option would be to carefully line up a slot cutter with the existing slot and clean out the chips.
Good luck!
