How to Cut Edge Banding214

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the exposed edges of plywood, particleboard, or MDF to create a finished look. It is available in a variety of materials, including wood, PVC, and metal, and can be either solid or printed with a decorative pattern. While it is possible to buy pre-cut edge banding, it is often more economical to purchase a roll and cut it to the desired length yourself.

To cut edge banding, you will need a sharp utility knife or a pair of scissors. If you are using a utility knife, be sure to use a new blade for the cleanest cut. If you are using scissors, be sure that they are sharp and have a fine point.

To cut the edge banding, first measure the length of the edge that you need to cover. Then, add 1-2 inches to the measurement to allow for overhang. Cut the edge banding to the desired length using a utility knife or scissors.

Once the edge banding is cut, you can apply it to the edge of the plywood, particleboard, or MDF. To do this, simply apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the edge banding and press it into place. Be sure to use a clamp or a heavy object to hold the edge banding in place while the glue dries.

Once the glue has dried, you can trim off any excess edge banding using a utility knife or scissors. Be sure to cut the edge banding flush with the surface of the plywood, particleboard, or MDF.
