## Choosing the Right Thickness

The thickness of the edge banding you need depends on the thickness of your wood substrate. Typically, 0.5mm or 0.8mm thickness is suitable for most furniture applications. If you have thicker wood, you may require 1.0mm or 2.0mm thickness.## Measuring and Cutting

1. Cut the edge banding tape to the desired length using a utility knife or a guillotine cutter.
2. Measure the length of the edge you need to cover and add approximately 1 inch for overlap.## Applying the Edge Banding

1. Use a hot air gun or iron: Heat the adhesive backing of the edge banding using a hot air gun set to low temperature or a clothing iron set to the "wool" or "linen" setting.
2. Apply pressure: Place the edge banding on the edge of the wood and press it firmly along its entire length using a rubber roller or similar tool.
3. Trim excess: Use a utility knife to trim off any excess edge banding that extends beyond the edge of the wood.## Additional Tips

- For curves or intricate shapes, use a hot air gun to soften the edge banding and mold it into the desired shape.
- If you encounter any air bubbles during application, use a pin or needle to puncture them and press down firmly to remove the air.
- Allow the edge banding to cool completely before sanding or trimming for a secure bond.## Sample Images
