Materials You Will Need
Two-color edge banding glue
Handheld edge bander
Edge banding material
Trimmer
Sandpaper

Instructions
Prepare the edge banding material. Cut the edge banding material to the desired length. If you are using a pre-glued edge banding material, skip this step.
Apply the glue to the edge banding material. Apply a thin layer of two-color edge banding glue to the edge of the edge banding material. Be sure to apply the glue evenly and to avoid getting it on your fingers.
Apply the edge banding material to the workpiece. Align the edge banding material with the edge of the workpiece. Press the edge banding material into place, using the handheld edge bander to create a tight bond. Be sure to hold the edge banding material in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
Trim the excess edge banding material. Once the glue has set, use a trimmer to trim the excess edge banding material. Be sure to trim the edge banding material flush with the edge of the workpiece.
Sand the edge banding material. Use sandpaper to sand the edge banding material flush with the surface of the workpiece. Be sure to sand in the direction of the grain to avoid damaging the edge banding material.

Tips
Use a sharp blade in your trimmer to avoid tearing the edge banding material.
If you are having difficulty getting the edge banding material to adhere to the workpiece, try using a heat gun to soften the edge banding material.
Be sure to clean the handheld edge bander after each use to prevent the glue from clogging the machine.

Conclusion

Two-color edge banding glue is a versatile and easy-to-use adhesive that can be used to create professional-looking edges on your woodworking projects. By following these instructions, you can achieve beautiful results on your next project.
