Materials You'll Need:- Plastic edging strips
- Adhesive (contact cement or hot melt glue)
- Adhesive spreader
- Trim router (optional)
- Flush trim bit (optional)
- Sandpaper or sanding block
- Clean cloth or sponge
- Tape measure or ruler
- Pencil or marking tool

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Edging Strip1. Measure the length of the edge you need to cover and add 3-5 inches for overlap.
2. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to cut the edging strip to the desired length.

Step 2: Prepare the Edge1. Remove any dust or debris from the edge using a clean cloth or sponge.
2. Ensure the edge is straight and free of splinters or burrs.
3. If desired, you can use a trim router with a flush trim bit to create a perfectly flush surface for the edging strip.

Step 3: Apply the Adhesive1. Use an adhesive spreader to apply a thin, even layer of contact cement or hot melt glue to both the edging strip and the edge of the furniture.
2. Allow the adhesive to become tacky before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Position and Adhere the Edging Strip1. Align the edging strip with the edge and press it firmly into place.
2. Use a rolling pin or a rubber mallet to apply pressure and ensure a secure bond.
3. Wipe away any excess adhesive with a clean cloth.

Step 5: Trim and Sand the Edging Strip1. Use a utility knife to trim any excess edging strip that extends beyond the edge.
2. Sand the edges of the edging strip lightly to smooth out any rough edges.
3. If desired, you can use a sanding block to create a slight roundover for a more finished look.

Tips:- Always wear gloves and eye protection when working with adhesives.
- Test the adhesive on a scrap piece first to ensure compatibility.
- Apply adhesive in small sections to prevent it from drying out before you have a chance to apply the edging strip.
- If you make a mistake, don't panic! Remove the edging strip and start over.

ConclusionBy following these steps, you can easily apply plastic edging strips to your furniture and achieve a professional-looking finish.
