Aluminium T=molding and edge molding attachment?

Postby CliffinGA » Sun Jul 22, 2012 4:28 pm

How is every one attaching their t-molding? My edge molding has screw holes already drilled but not my t-molding does not. I was curious as to how everyone is attaching theres and what size screws they used.

Hey, Cliff!

I just use screw-nails ... not the fat ones, but the skinny ones you can get at carpet supply stores. I drill holes in the vertical leg of the T-Molding about 4" apart, just a bit bigger than the shaft of the nails. BTW, find or make a "punch" that you can use to drive the nails the last 1/2" so you don't have the chance of dinging the edge of the T-Molding with the hammer.

Good luck, and as always ...

Thanks Grant I appreciate the info, I read it and went out and checked and I have some brad nails that are the ridged down the shaft and they go thru the t molding and leaves the head out slightly and is easy to set. I appreciate the help bud!
