Materials You'll Need:
New edge banding
Utility knife
Edge banding trimmer
Iron or heat gun
Sandpaper or sanding block
Clean cloth

Step 1: Remove Old Edge Banding

Using a utility knife, carefully score the old edge banding along the edge of the cabinet. Be careful not to damage the underlying wood. Once you've scored the edge banding, use a putty knife or other flat tool to pry it off the cabinet.

Step 2: Clean the Edge

Once the old edge banding is removed, clean the edge of the cabinet with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris. This will help ensure that the new edge banding adheres properly.

Step 3: Apply New Edge Banding

Cut the new edge banding to the desired length and apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the banding. Align the banding with the edge of the cabinet and press it into place. Use a heat gun or iron to soften the adhesive and help the banding bond to the cabinet.

Step 4: Trim the Edge Banding

Once the edge banding is in place, use an edge banding trimmer to trim any excess material. Be careful not to cut into the underlying wood.

Step 5: Sand and Finish

Sand the edge banding lightly with sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth any rough edges. Wipe the cabinet down with a clean cloth to remove any dust.

Tips:
Choose an edge banding that matches the color and style of your cabinets.
Use a sharp utility knife to score the old edge banding to avoid tearing it.
Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the new edge banding to ensure a strong bond.
Use a heat gun or iron to soften the adhesive and help the banding adhere to the cabinet.
Trim the edge banding carefully to avoid cutting into the underlying wood.

By following these steps, you can give your cabinets a refreshed look with new edge banding. This is a cost-effective and easy way to update the appearance of your kitchen or bathroom without replacing the entire cabinetry.
