Materials and Tools Required:* Cabinet edge banding
* Contact cement
* Measuring tape
* Pencil
* Utility knife
* Trimming router or flush trim saw
* Sandpaper or sanding block

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Edge Banding* Measure the length of the exposed cabinet edge.
* Transfer the measurement to the edge banding and mark the cutting line.
* Use a utility knife or a guillotine to cut the edge banding to the desired length.

Step 2: Apply Contact Cement* Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement to both the edge of the cabinet and the back of the edge banding.
* Allow the cement to become tacky for 5-10 minutes before proceeding.

Step 3: Align and Stick the Edge Banding* Align the edge banding with the cabinet edge and carefully press it into place.
* Use your thumb or a roller to apply firm pressure along the entire length of the banding.

Step 4: Trim the Excess* Once the edge banding is fully adhered, use a trimming router or flush trim saw to remove the excess material.
* Hold the router or saw parallel to the edge of the cabinet and trim the banding flush with the surface.

Step 5: Sand and Finish* Lightly sand the edges of the trimmed banding to smooth them out. Use a 120-grit or finer sandpaper.
* If desired, apply a clear coat or paint to the edge banding to match the finish of your cabinetry.

Tips for Successful Installation:* Use high-quality edge banding and contact cement to ensure durability.
* Keep your cutting tools sharp to achieve clean and accurate cuts.
* Allow the cement to become tacky before applying to prevent slipping or misalignment.
* Apply firm pressure when installing the edge banding to ensure a strong bond.
