Materials You'll Need:
Edge banding strips in the desired color and material
Contact cement
Edge banding trimmer
Trimming bit
Sandpaper
Clamps

Step 1: Prepare the Edge

Ensure the furniture edge is clean, smooth, and free of any dust or debris. Use sandpaper to remove any imperfections.

Step 2: Apply Contact Cement

Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement to both the furniture edge and the edge banding strip. Allow it to dry slightly until it becomes tacky to the touch.

Step 3: Position and Apply the Edge Banding

Carefully align the edge banding strip with the furniture edge and press it firmly into place. Use a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to ensure proper adhesion.

Step 4: Trim the Excess Banding

Using an edge banding trimmer equipped with a trimming bit, trim the excess banding flush with the edge of the furniture. Hold the trimmer firmly and guide it along the edge.

Step 5: Sand and Smooth the Edge

Sand the trimmed edge with sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or unevenness. Use a fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.

Step 6: Clamp and Bond

Clamp the edge banding strip firmly against the furniture edge using clamps. Allow the contact cement to cure and bond fully for the recommended time indicated on the product label.

Tips for Success:
Use high-quality edge banding strips that match the furniture's color and material.
Apply contact cement evenly to ensure strong adhesion.
Trim the edge banding carefully to avoid tearing or damaging the material.
Clamp the edge banding securely for optimal bonding.
Allow the contact cement to cure fully before using the furniture.
