If you find yourself in this situation, don't worry - repairing veneer edging strips is a relatively easy process that can be completed in just a few simple steps.

Materials You'll Need:* New veneer edging strip
* Wood glue
* Sandpaper
* Utility knife
* Clamps
* Measuring tape
* Pencil

Step-by-Step Instructions:1. Measure and Cut the New Edging Strip: Use a measuring tape and pencil to measure the length of the damaged or loose veneer edging strip. Cut a new edging strip to the same length using a utility knife.
2. Apply Wood Glue: Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the new edging strip. Be sure to spread the glue evenly across the entire surface.
3. Align and Clamp the Edging Strip: Carefully align the new edging strip with the edge of the furniture piece. Use clamps to hold the edging strip in place while the glue dries.
4. Wipe Away Excess Glue: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess glue that may have squeezed out from under the edging strip.
5. Allow the Glue to Dry: Allow the wood glue to dry completely before removing the clamps. The drying time will vary depending on the type of glue used, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Sand the Edging Strip: Once the glue has dried, use sandpaper to smooth the edges of the new edging strip. Be careful not to sand too much, as this could damage the veneer.
7. Finish the Edging Strip: If desired, you can apply a finish to the new edging strip to match the rest of the furniture piece. This could be a clear coat of varnish or a stain to match the wood.
