Sandpaper (fine and medium grit)
Pencil or scribe
Edge banding adhesive
Trimming block (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide to Manual TrimmingStep 1: Prepare the Workpiece
Clean and prepare the edge of the workpiece to remove any dust or debris. Apply edge banding adhesive to the workpiece's edge.
Step 2: Position the Edge Banding
Align the edge banding with the workpiece's edge and carefully press it into place. Ensure it is flush with the surface.
Step 3: Mark the Trim Line
Using a pencil or scribe, mark the edge of the workpiece on the edge banding, indicating where the trim will be made.
Step 4: Trim the Excess
Hold the utility knife perpendicular to the workpiece's edge and carefully score along the marked trim line. Repeat the scoring process until the excess edge banding is completely removed.
Step 5: Refine the Trim (Optional)
For a more refined finish, use sandpaper to gently sand the trimmed edge, removing any rough edges or imperfections. Start with a fine-grit sandpaper and progress to a medium-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
Apply a thin layer of edge banding adhesive to the trimmed edge and press a trimming block or a clean cloth over it to firmly secure the edge banding.

Tips for Optimal Results* Use a sharp utility knife to ensure clean and precise cuts.
* Hold the knife firmly and apply even pressure while scoring.
* Score multiple times along the trim line for a smoother finish.
* If using a trimming block, ensure it is straight and flush with the workpiece's edge.
* Use a sanding block for a more consistent sanding result.
* Allow the edge banding adhesive to dry completely before applying any force or weight to the trimmed edge.
