How to Install Round Edge Veneer Trim387

Round edge veneer trim, also known as bullnose trim, is a type of decorative molding used to cover the exposed edges of plywood or MDF. It is typically made from a thin layer of real wood or veneer that is laminated to a solid wood core. Round edge veneer trim is available in a variety of species and finishes, making it a versatile option for any home décor style.

Installing round edge veneer trim is a relatively easy process that can be completed in a few hours. The following instructions will show you how to install round edge veneer trim on a plywood edge.

Materials* Round edge veneer trim
* Wood glue
* Nails or screws
* Hammer or nail gun
* Miter saw
* Sandpaper
* Tack cloth
* Finishing nails
* Nail set

Instructions
Cut the trim to length. Measure the length of the plywood edge that you want to cover with trim. Cut the trim to length using a miter saw.
Apply wood glue to the trim. Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the trim. Be sure to apply glue to the entire surface of the trim, including the edges.
Position the trim on the plywood edge. Align the trim with the edge of the plywood and press it into place. Use your hands to smooth the trim down and remove any air bubbles.
Nail or screw the trim in place. Once the trim is in place, nail or screw it to the plywood. Use finishing nails or screws that are long enough to penetrate the trim and the plywood. Countersink the nails or screws slightly below the surface of the trim.
Sand the trim. Once the trim is nailed or screwed in place, sand the edges of the trim to smooth them out. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and be careful not to sand too much, as this could damage the trim.
Wipe the trim with a tack cloth. Wipe the trim down with a tack cloth to remove any dust or debris. This will help the finish to adhere better.
Finish the trim. Apply a finish to the trim to protect it and give it a finished look. You can use a clear finish, such as polyurethane, or a tinted finish, such as paint or stain. Allow the finish to dry completely before using the trim.

Tips* If you are installing round edge veneer trim on a curved surface, you can use a heat gun to bend the trim to fit. Be careful not to overheat the trim, as this could damage it.
* If you are having trouble getting the trim to stick to the plywood, you can use a brad nailer to shoot nails through the trim and into the plywood. This will help to hold the trim in place while the glue dries.
* Once the trim is installed, you can use a wood filler to fill in any nail holes or gaps. Allow the wood filler to dry completely before sanding and finishing the trim.
