Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, gather the following materials:
Refrigerator edge trim
Utility knife
Measuring tape
Pencil or marking tool
Contact cement or adhesive
Clean cloth or sponge

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Edge Trim

Measure the length of the refrigerator door or drawer where you'll be installing the trim. Transfer this measurement to the edge trim and mark it with a pencil. Use a utility knife to cut the trim to the desired length.

Step 3: Prepare the Refrigerator Surface

Clean the surface of the refrigerator where the trim will be applied. Remove any dirt, dust, or debris to ensure a strong bond.

Step 4: Apply the Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement or adhesive to both the edge trim and the refrigerator surface. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific adhesive you're using.

Step 5: Position and Press the Trim

Carefully position the edge trim on the refrigerator surface. Align it with the mark you made earlier. Press firmly along the entire length of the trim to ensure a secure bond.

Step 6: Remove Excess Adhesive

Use a clean cloth or sponge to remove any excess adhesive that may have squeezed out during installation. Wipe gently to avoid damaging the trim or the refrigerator's surface.

Step 7: Allow the Adhesive to Cure

Allow the adhesive to cure completely according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This may take several hours or even overnight.
