Materials You'll Need:
Furniture edge banding (choose the same color and material as your wardrobe)
Edge banding adhesive
Hot air gun or edge bander
Trimming router or utility knife
Sanding block
Clean cloth

Step 1: Prepare the Wardrobe and Edge Banding

Start by thoroughly cleaning the edges of the wardrobe to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. Ensure that the surface is smooth and dry before proceeding. Cut the edge banding to the desired length, slightly longer than the edges of the wardrobe.

Step 2: Apply Edge Banding Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of edge banding adhesive to the edge of the wardrobe and the backside of the edge banding. Allow it to dry for a few minutes until it becomes tacky to the touch.

Step 3: Adhere the Edge Banding

Carefully align the edge banding with the edge of the wardrobe. Press it down firmly, ensuring that it adheres evenly and without any gaps. Use a hot air gun or an edge bander to heat-activate the adhesive, which will create a strong bond.

Step 4: Trim the Excess Edge Banding

Once the edge banding is securely attached, trim any excess material using a trimming router or a sharp utility knife. Follow the contours of the edge to achieve a clean and precise cut.

Step 5: Sand and Finish

Lightly sand the trimmed edges to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and work along the grain of the edge banding. Wipe down the surface with a clean cloth to remove any sanding dust.

Tips for Professional Results:
Use a sharp utility knife or a trimming router to ensure clean and precise cuts.
Apply the adhesive evenly to avoid any gaps or uneven adhesion.
Press down firmly on the edge banding when adhering to create a solid bond.
Use a hot air gun or an edge bander to activate the adhesive properly.
Sand lightly in the direction of the grain to achieve a smooth finish.
