Edge banding plays a crucial role in protecting furniture from moisture, wear and tear, and enhancing its aesthetic appeal. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of applying eco-friendly edge banding to your furniture pieces.

Materials Required:* Eco-friendly edge banding
* Iron with temperature control
* Edge banding trimmer
* Sandpaper or sanding block
* Clean cloth or brush

Step 1: Preparation* Sand the edges of your furniture piece to remove any splinters or rough spots.
* Clean the surface of the wood with a clean cloth or brush to remove any dust or debris.

Step 2: Measuring and Cutting the Edge Banding* Measure the length of the edge you need to cover and add a few inches for overlap.
* Cut the edge banding to the desired length using a sharp utility knife or scissors.

Step 3: Applying Heat* Set your iron to the temperature recommended for your specific edge banding material. This temperature typically ranges from 300°F to 350°F.
* Place the edge banding along the edge of the furniture piece.
* Slowly apply the hot iron over the edge banding, applying even pressure. Hold the iron in place for a few seconds until the edge banding is bonded to the wood.

Step 4: Trimming the Edge Banding* Once the edge banding is cooled, use an edge banding trimmer to remove any excess material.
* Guide the trimmer along the edge of the furniture piece to create a flush finish.

Step 5: Sanding* Sand the edge of the furniture piece lightly with sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth any rough edges.
* Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any dust or debris.
