* Handheld edge bander
* Trimmer or flush-cut saw
* Sandpaper or sanding block
* Clean cloth or rag

* Safety gloves

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation

* Measure the length of the edge to be covered and cut the edge banding slightly longer than required.
* Apply edge banding adhesive to the back of the banding according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Trimming the Edge Banding

* Insert the edge banding into the handheld edge bander and adjust the temperature setting based on the type of banding used.
* Run the edge bander along the edge of the furniture, applying even pressure to activate the adhesive.
* Allow the adhesive to cool and set for a few minutes.

3. Trimming Excess Banding

* Use a trimmer or flush-cut saw to trim the excess edge banding flush with the surface of the furniture.
* Sand the edges of the banding lightly to remove any splinters or sharp edges.

4. Final Finishing

* Wipe the surface of the edge banding with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris.
* If desired, apply a layer of wood filler or wood putty to fill in any gaps between the banding and the furniture.
* Sand the filled area smooth and apply a coat of paint or varnish to match the finish of the furniture.

Additional Tips* Use a sharp blade for trimming to ensure a clean and precise cut.
* Practice on a scrap piece of wood or furniture to get the hang of using the edge bander.
* Apply the adhesive evenly to prevent lumps or bubbles.
* Allow the adhesive to set completely before trimming the excess banding.
* If the edge banding does not adhere properly, it may be necessary to apply additional adhesive or use a heat gun to reactivate the adhesive.
