Materials and Tools

To get started, you will need:

Carpenter's glue

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Wardrobe and Edging Band

Clean the edges of the wardrobe to remove any dust or debris. Measure and cut the edging band to the desired length, leaving a small overlap at the corners.

2. Apply Carpenter's Glue

Apply a thin layer of carpenter's glue to the back of the edging band. Avoid using too much glue, as it can cause excess squeeze-out.

3. Align and Clamp the Edging Band

Carefully align the edging band with the edge of the wardrobe. Use clamps to hold the band in place firmly.

4. Trim the Excess

Using an edge trimmer, flush trim the excess edging band that overhangs the edge of the wardrobe.

5. Flush Trim the Flush Edge

Fit a flush trim bit to your handheld router. Carefully route along the edge of the edging band to create a flush finish with the wardrobe surface.

6. Sand and Finish

Sand the edges lightly to smooth any imperfections. Apply a suitable finish to protect the edging band from wear and tear.

Tips for Success
Use a sharp edge trimmer for precision trimming.
Set the depth of the flush trim bit to match the thickness of the edging band.
Wipe away any excess glue immediately with a damp cloth.
Allow sufficient time for the glue to dry before removing the clamps.
Test the edging band on a scrap piece of wood before applying it to the wardrobe.
