Materials Required:* Apple edge banding strips
* Contact adhesive
* Utility knife
* Ruler or measuring tape
* Sandpaper or sanding block
* Rag or sponge
* Heat gun or hair dryer (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Surface* Clean and dry the surface where the edge banding strip will be applied.
* Ensure the surface is smooth and free from dust, dirt, or any other contaminants.

Step 2: Apply Contact Adhesive* Use a brush or roller to apply a thin, even layer of contact adhesive to both the edge of the furniture and the back of the edge banding strip.
* Allow the adhesive to tack up for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3: Position the Edge Banding Strip* Carefully align the edge banding strip with the edge of the furniture.
* Press firmly along the entire length of the strip to ensure proper adhesion.
* Use a ruler or measuring tape to check if the strip is straight and level.

Step 4: Trim the Excess* Once the edge banding strip is in place, use a sharp utility knife to trim off any excess material at both ends.
* Cut cleanly and at a 45-degree angle to ensure a seamless finish.

Step 5: Sand the Edges* Use fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth down the edges of the edge banding strip.
* Sand in the direction of the grain to avoid chipping or damaging the material.

Step 6: Clean Up* Wipe away any excess adhesive or dust using a rag or sponge dampened with water.
* Allow the furniture to dry completely before using it.

Tips for a Professional Finish:* Use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive before applying the edge banding strip. This will allow you to manipulate the strip more easily and achieve a tighter bond.
* If any adhesive seeps out from under the edge banding strip, wipe it away immediately with a damp rag.
* For thicker edge banding strips, apply two layers of adhesive for increased strength and durability.
* Practice on a scrap piece of material before applying the edge banding strip to your furniture to ensure a clean and precise finish.

By following these steps and incorporating these tips, you can effortlessly apply Apple edge banding strips to your furniture and enjoy a polished and professional-looking result that will enhance the appeal and longevity of your furniture pieces.
