Materials Required:


* Edge banding strip with pre-applied acrylic adhesive
* Utility knife
* Trimmer
* Sandpaper
* Cleaning solution
* Tack cloth
* Heat gun (optional)

Steps:



Prepare the Surface: Clean the surface of the furniture to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Use a tack cloth to remove any remaining particles.
Apply Acrylic Tape: Peel off the backing paper from the edge banding strip and align it with the edge of the furniture. Press firmly along the edge to ensure a secure bond.
Trim Excess: Use a sharp utility knife to trim off any excess tape that extends beyond the edge. Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle for a clean cut.
Smooth Edges: Use a trimmer to remove any sharp edges or remnants of adhesive. This will give a finished and polished look to the banding.
Sand: Lightly sand the edge banding to smooth any uneven surfaces or rough edges. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to avoid damaging the tape.
Finish: If desired, apply heat to the edge banding using a heat gun. This will further activate the acrylic adhesive, creating a stronger bond and a uniform finish.

Tips:


* Choose an edge banding strip that matches the thickness of your furniture's edge.
* Use a sharp utility knife to ensure precise cuts.
* Apply pressure evenly when applying the tape to prevent gaps or wrinkles.
* Remove any excess adhesive immediately using a cleaning solution.
