snstay Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm on the final stretch of my cab and I need a t-molding with the barbs thicker than 1/16 in. I looked on the normal sites and they seem to be all 1/16 in. I heard people glueing it in but I don't want to go that route. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anpanman Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 pretty much all of them are 1/16. The only other solution i can think of is putting some masking tape on the barb to see if it thickens it up a bit. If not, use low temp hot glue. You can still remove it if you need to later down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snstay Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ok thanks. But with glueing it in will it be sturdy enough to go around the corners or will I have to glue a staight edge and wait for it to dry before making the corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you I needed to remove t-molding that was glued into a cab once and the process shredded the edges of the wood and destroyed the sideart with it. Bad, bad. Did your t channel just get cut to big or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snstay Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 No it didn't I pulled the original off and it's bigger. Its still 3/4 in. Wide just a bigger channel. It was an old egg venture cab that I'm converting. It had a black t-molding but I'm going for a blue theme so I have the blue t molding all ready to go just want the best way to install the smaller barbs.

Did your t channel just get cut to big or something? Never experienced this. This likely was caused because whoever put on the molding actually placed glue on the bottom half of the molding and not on the actual barb. No it didn't I pulled the original off and it's bigger.

If you really want to do it the proper way, bondo the slot and then cut yourself a new slot using a router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yeah, they had over glued it so that it was stuck down all over the molding Sent from my SM-G935V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
