I bought new t-molding for my pacman cabinet, and after trying to install it, it wont stay in the groove. I looked at the groove, and its farther apart then its suppose to be....any ideas as to how to keep the t-molding in place?
 
Hmmm... I have some ideas, but I don't share them with people who've burned fellow KLOVians.

Good luck with that though...

I wasn't privied to the deal you are speaking, but I've had about 5 deals with him (buying & selling) with absolutely no problems. He actually just sent me a marquee and bezel at no charge for future key chains down the road!

Just my $0.02 Frizz...
 
There is a post in the Negative Feedback area. All over $13.00. Ridiculous frankly. But whatever. I wish him good luck... maybe that $13.00 can go toward a hot glue gun?

That said... I guess I am just a softy because here goes:

The proper way to deal with this issue is to bondo the current slot and re-route another channel. Any other way is half-ass. It will work... but it's half-ass...
 
I tried the hot glue method and it didn't stay flush and is a hack. Looks crap. I'll be picking the dried glue out, filling the slot with wood filler epoxy, and recutting it with a slot cutter router bit.

Hot glue works great but you have to make sure you notch or cut the rib where it goes around an inside or outside curve or a right angle which you should do anyway and you do a small section at a time and you have to hold it in flush till the glue cools down. When it's cool it's stuck whether it's in the slot or not so it all comes down to knowing how to do it.:D
