Problems with T-molding bough on the website http://www.pinball.center/

Hi everybody,

 

Just a quick message to warn you about the quality of the T-molding available on the website pinball.center.

 

I was looking for a 19mm chrome T-molding for my new arcade cabinet and when i received it i found scratch and bubbles all along the t-molding which makes it totally unusable. see the picture included.

 

 

I tried to send them e-mail but they are not responding.....

 

Do you know a good supplier for a 19mm chrome t-molding?

 

Best regards

 

Richard

They are a Dutch company correct? Is that were you want to buy from?

 

Otherwise try http://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/Chrome-3-Quarter-Inch-T-Molding.html I have just spent £150 with them and the service was great.

 

It's 18mm btw, 3 quarter inch

I think they are german not dutch.

 

I allready ordered some part in arcadeworld-uk they are great but they don't have 19mm t-molding (wich seem to be pretty rare in chrome color).

 

May be i will go with 18mm t-molding... i hope i would not be to visible.

I'm not an expert but if the t-molding is just plastic with chrome paint sprayed on it, u may end up with the same results from different manufacturers. Because the t-molding is plastic and flexible the paint will always have a chance of cracking and bubbling up. I don't know if a good primer before the paint would help, but the paint will never be as flexible as the t-molding itself and the results might end up being the same if u buy another roll

They are in Luxembourg and they don't stock 19mm only 18 so you should be good with what you have ordered.

They may have marked it up wrong actually. I looked into this a few days ago as I was considering using T molding.

The mdf I bought is 18mm but most t molding is 0.75" 19mm. Most places I checked said it should fit ok.

That just sucks!! I always order more than I need just in case but they should stand behind what they sell to begin with!!

I ordered 12 meters because i wanted to do also the back of the cabinet and I add a little extra in case or emergency, but it is like like all along the t-molding.

Have you removed the outer plastic?

There is no outer plastic on it....

That's piss poor not noticing before it was shipped unless they have it precut in a store room and it got beat up.

You should keep trying to contact then and mention the bad advertising they are getting on this forum.
