Materials You'll Need:* Wardrobe edging strips
* Adhesive (preferably contact adhesive)
* Clean rags or cloths
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Utility knife
* Mitre box (optional)

Step 1: Preparation* Measure the length of the wardrobe edges where the edging strips will be installed.
* Cut the edging strips to the measured length using a utility knife. For angled corners, use a mitre box to cut 45-degree angles.

Step 2: Apply Adhesive* Apply a thin, even layer of contact adhesive to the back of the edging strips.
* Ensure that the adhesive is applied to the entire width of the strip, including the edges.
* Allow the adhesive to become slightly tacky to the touch before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Alignment and Installation* Carefully align the edging strip with the edge of the wardrobe, ensuring that it is centred and straight.
* Press the edging strip firmly into place, applying even pressure along its entire length.
* Hold the strip for a few seconds to ensure it adheres securely.

Step 4: Finishing Touches* Use a clean rag or cloth to wipe away any excess adhesive that may have seeped out.
* Inspect the edges to ensure that they are properly sealed and free of gaps or overlaps.
* If necessary, use a utility knife to trim any excess material that protrudes beyond the edges of the wardrobe.

Tips for Success:* Use high-quality edging strips and adhesive for optimal results.
* Always measure and cut the edging strips precisely to avoid gaps or overlaps.
* Allow the adhesive to become slightly tacky before installing the edging strips for better grip.
* Apply firm and even pressure while pressing the strips into place to ensure a strong bond.
* Wipe away any excess adhesive promptly to prevent it from drying and becoming difficult to remove.

* Enhances the aesthetic appeal and overall finish of the wardrobe.
* Provides a smooth and comfortable edge for handling and usage.
