Materials and Equipment:

- Thin edgebanding strip (0.5mm-1mm thick)
- Edgebanding machine or iron
- Flush trim router or edgeband trimmer
- Sandpaper or sanding block
- Contact cement or wood glue

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Preparation:
- Cut the edgebanding strip to the desired length, ensuring it extends slightly beyond the edge of the substrate.
- Clean the surface of the substrate and the edgebanding strip with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris.

2. Applying Contact Cement:
- Apply a thin layer of contact cement to both the edge of the substrate and the back of the edgebanding strip.
- Allow the cement to dry for a few minutes until it becomes tacky.

3. Bonding:
- Align the edgebanding strip with the edge of the substrate and press it firmly into place.
- Hold the strip in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

4. Trimming:
- Use a flush trim router or an edgeband trimmer to remove the excess edgebanding material that extends beyond the edge of the substrate.
- Gently move the router along the edge, taking care not to gouge the substrate.

5. Sanding:
- Sand the edges of the edgebanding using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block.
- Sand until the edgebanding is flush with the surface of the substrate and there are no visible seams.

Using an Iron:
- If you don't have an edgebanding machine, you can use an iron to apply the edgebanding strip.
- Set the iron to a medium temperature and switch off the steam function.
- Place the edgebanding strip on the substrate and cover it with a protective cloth.
- Run the iron over the cloth, applying firm pressure, until the edgebanding adheres to the substrate.

Tips and Tricks:

- Test the contact cement on a small piece of wood before applying it to the actual project.
- Use a sharp router bit for trimming to ensure clean and precise cuts.
- Sand the edges thoroughly to achieve a smooth and seamless finish.
- Experiment with different colors and textures of edgebanding strips to create unique and stylish projects.
