Part 13: T-Moulding

Here was the part I had been waiting for - fitting the T-Stripping!


I saw some You Tube videos on how to do it and tried it out. 


Here is the result:




Below is the T-Moulding on a soft sheet (to prevent it getting scratched up). That thing in the middle is a mallet with a towel tied around it. This was so I could hammer the T-Mouling in the grove without marking the plastic. 


Bellow: Here is me whacking the T-Moulding into place. It fitted pretty firmly. I noticed it picked up any defect in the wood cutting and so on - so it is wise to get these cuts really accurate and straight. 



Below - when going around a bend (with an inside radius) then I had to cut out centre sections for it to fit. 


The mallet was good for large stretches of wood - but for corners and start bits - it was best to use a small metal hammer with a towel in place. This went better than expected.
