While professional edgebanders can provide precise and efficient edgebanding, it is entirely possible to achieve impressive results with a DIY approach. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you apply PET edgebanding yourself:

Materials and Tools Required:
PET edgebanding (choose an appropriate width and color to match your project)
Iron or edgebander
Edgebanding trimmer
Sandpaper or sanding block
Tack cloth or lint-free cloth

Step 1: Prepare the Edge

Before applying edgebanding, ensure the edge of the substrate is smooth and clean. Use sandpaper or a sanding block to remove any rough edges or splinters. Wipe down the edge with a tack cloth or lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris.

Step 2: Apply Adhesive

PET edgebanding typically comes with a pre-applied adhesive. If not, you will need to apply your own adhesive. Use an appropriate adhesive for the substrate you are using. Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the edgebanding.

Step 3: Iron or Edgeband the PET

For this step, you can choose to use an iron or an edgebander. If using an iron, set it to a medium heat setting. Place the edgebanding over the substrate's edge, aligning it carefully. Use the iron to press down firmly on the edgebanding, applying even pressure along the entire length. If using an edgebander, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper operation.

Step 4: Trim the Excess

Once the edgebanding is applied, use an edgebanding trimmer to cut off any excess material. Trim the edgebanding flush with the edge of the substrate, ensuring a clean and seamless finish.

Step 5: Sand and Finish

Sand the trimmed edgebanding lightly with fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth any rough edges. Wipe away dust with a tack cloth or lint-free cloth. If desired, apply a clear finish or paint to the edgebanding for added protection and aesthetics.
