Materials Required:* T-molding rubber trim
* Edge banding adhesive
* Tape measure
* Utility knife
* Miter saw (optional)
* Contact adhesive (optional)

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Trim* Measure the length of the edge to be banded and cut a piece of T-molding to match.
* Use a miter saw or a utility knife to cut 45-degree angles at the ends of the trim if you are edging a corner.

Step 2: Apply Edge Banding Adhesive* Apply a thin layer of edge banding adhesive to the edge of the furniture piece.
* Remove the protective backing from the T-molding's adhesive side.

Step 3: Align and Apply the Trim* Align the T-molding with the edge of the furniture and press it into place, starting from one end.
* If you are using a mitered corner, ensure that the angled cuts fit together snugly.

Step 4: Hammer or Roll the Trim* Use a rubber mallet or a roller to hammer or roll the T-molding firmly into place. This will ensure a secure bond between the trim and the furniture edge.

Step 5: Trim Excess Trim* Use a utility knife to trim any excess T-molding that extends beyond the edge of the furniture.

Step 6: Remove Excess Adhesive (Optional)* Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away any excess adhesive that may have squeezed out during the process.

Additional Tips:* For best results, use a high-quality edge banding adhesive specifically designed for the type of T-molding you are using.
* Apply the adhesive evenly and thinly to prevent excess oozing out during application.
* If you are edging a curved surface, apply contact adhesive to the underside of the T-molding for a stronger hold.
* Allow the adhesive to cure completely before putting the furniture into use.
* Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the lifespan of the edge banding and protect the furniture from wear and tear.
