Materials You'll Need:* New edging strips

Step 1: Remove the Old Edging* Using the utility knife, carefully score along the edge of the old edging strip, separating it from the cabinet.
* Use the trim router to trim off any remaining adhesive or excess material.

Step 2: Prepare the Cabinet Surface* Sand the surface of the cabinet where the new edging will be applied. This will create a smooth and even surface for better adhesion.
* Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust or debris.

Step 3: Cut the New Edging Strips* Measure the length of the cabinet edge and cut the new edging strips accordingly.
* Use a miter saw or miter cutter to ensure a precise 45-degree angle cut for corner joints.

Step 4: Apply Adhesive* Spread a thin layer of adhesive on the back of the edging strips.
* Use a brush or roller to apply the adhesive evenly, ensuring full coverage.

Step 5: Install the Edging Strips* Place the edging strips on the cabinet surface, aligning them flush with the edge.
* Use clamps to hold the strips in place while the adhesive dries.

Step 6: Trim and Flush the Edging* Once the adhesive has set, use the edging router to trim the edging strips flush with the cabinet surface.
* Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or unevenness.

Step 7: Finish the Edging* If desired, you can seal the edging strips with a clear finish, such as polyurethane or lacquer. This will protect the edging and enhance its appearance.

Tips:* Choose edging strips that match the color and style of your cabinets.
* Use sharp router bits to ensure a clean cut.
* Be patient and take your time to achieve the best results.
* If you are not confident in your woodworking skills, consider hiring a professional to replace the edging strips for you.
