## Selecting the Right Edging Strips

The first step is to select the right edging strips for your wardrobe. There are various materials and finishes available, including PVC, melamine, and wood veneer. Consider the style of your wardrobe, the surrounding décor, and the durability requirements when making your choice.## Measuring and Cutting the Edging Strips

Once you have selected the edging strips, measure the length of the edges that need to be covered. Mark the measurements on the edging strips using a pencil or marking tool. Use a miter saw or coping saw to cut the strips to the desired length.## Preparing the Edges of the Wardrobe

Before applying the edging strips, ensure the edges of the wardrobe are clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris. Sand the edges lightly with sandpaper or a sanding block to remove any imperfections and create a smooth surface for adhesion.## Applying the Contact Cement or Wood Glue

Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement or wood glue to the edges of the wardrobe and the back of the edging strips. Allow the glue to become tacky before proceeding to the next step.## Installing the Edging Strips

Position the edging strips over the edges of the wardrobe and press firmly into place. Use clamps to hold the strips securely until the glue dries completely. Wipe away any excess glue that may squeeze out using a damp cloth.## Trimming and Finishing

Once the glue has dried, trim any excess edging strips that may be protruding using a sharp utility knife or sandpaper. Sand the edges lightly to smooth out any rough edges and create a professional-looking finish.## Additional Tips
* Wear safety glasses when cutting or sanding to protect your eyes.
* Use a sharp saw to ensure clean and precise cuts.
* Apply the glue evenly and thinly to avoid excessive squeeze-out.
* Allow the glue to dry completely before using the wardrobe to ensure proper adhesion.
* If you are not comfortable installing the edging strips yourself, consider hiring a professional.
