Materials You'll Need:
Edge banding strip (matching the color and thickness of your furniture)
Handheld edge bander
Trimmer
Sandpaper or sanding block
Iron (optional, for thermally activated edge banding)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Edge of Your Furniture

Start by ensuring that the edge of your furniture is clean and free of any debris or imperfections. Use sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth out any rough areas or splinters.

2. Choose the Right Edge Banding Strip

Select an edge banding strip that matches the thickness and color of your furniture. If you're using thermally activated edge banding, ensure that it's compatible with your handheld edge bander.

3. Cut the Edge Banding Strip to Length

Measure and cut the edge banding strip to the length of the edge you want to cover. Leave a slight overhang at both ends for trimming later.

4. Apply Edge Banding (Hot Melt Method)

Insert the edge banding strip into the handheld edge bander. Set the temperature according to the manufacturer's instructions. Slowly guide the bander along the edge of the furniture, pressing firmly to apply the edge banding strip. If needed, use a trim tool to remove any excess adhesive.

5. Apply Edge Banding (Thermally Activated Method)

For thermally activated edge banding, heat up your iron to the recommended temperature. Place the edge banding strip over the edge of the furniture and press the iron firmly along its length. Hold for a few seconds to activate the adhesive.

6. Trim the Overhang

Once the edge banding is applied, use a sharp trimmer or utility knife to carefully remove the overhang at both ends. Ensure that your cuts are clean and flush with the edge of the furniture.

7. Sand and Finish

Sand the edges of the applied edge banding using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block. Smooth out any rough spots or imperfections. You can also apply a sealant or finish to protect the edge banding and enhance its durability.

Tips for Success:

1. Practice on scrap material before working on your actual furniture pieces.

2. Test the temperature settings of your handheld edge bander and iron to avoid overheating or underheating.

3. Use a sharp trimmer to ensure clean, precise cuts.

4. Apply pressure evenly when applying the edge banding strip to achieve a secure bond.

5. Take your time and pay attention to detail for a professional-looking finish.
