* Utility knife
* Edge trimmer (optional)

## Step-by-Step Instructions


1. Preparation
* Measure the length of the edge to be banded and cut the edge banding strip accordingly.
* Clean the edge of the wood panel thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.


2. Applying the Edge Banding
* Peel back the protective backing of the edge banding about 2-3 inches at one end.
* Align the edge banding with the edge of the wood panel and press it down firmly.
* Continue removing the protective backing and pressing the edge banding in sections, ensuring it adheres securely.
* Use a dry cloth to apply pressure along the edge banding, especially at the corners and ends.


3. Trimming the Excess
* Once the edge banding is applied, use a utility knife to trim the excess material at the ends.
* Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle and carefully cut along the edge of the wood panel.
* For a more refined finish, use an edge trimmer to round the edges of the edge banding.


4. Heat Activation
* Apply heat along the edge banding using a heat gun or hair dryer.
* The heat will activate the adhesive, ensuring a strong and permanent bond.
* Use a dry cloth to press down on the edge banding while heating it.


5. Final Touches

* Inspect the edge banding for any gaps or imperfections.
* If necessary, apply additional adhesive or fill any gaps with a wood filler.
## Tips for Successful Edge Banding
* Always use a sharp utility knife to cut the edge banding for clean and precise cuts.
* Apply firm pressure when applying the edge banding to ensure a secure bond.
* Use a heat gun or hair dryer on a low setting to avoid damaging the edge banding.
