Step 5: Trimming and Sanding

Trim any remaining excess edge banding and flush it with the workpiece's surface using a trimming router. Sand the edges gently with sandpaper or a sanding block to remove any sharp edges or irregularities.

Use a cleaning solution to remove any glue residue or dust from the edge banding and the workpiece's surface. Allow the solution to dry thoroughly.

Tips and Tricks* Use a higher temperature adhesive for thicker edge banding materials.
* Apply a small amount of adhesive to the edge banding before applying it to the workpiece for better adhesion.
