Step 1: Remove the Old Edging* Use a utility knife or chisel to carefully pry off the old edging. Be careful not to damage the surface of the furniture.
* If the edging is particularly stubborn, apply some heat from a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the glue.
* Once the old edging is removed, clean the surface of the furniture thoroughly to remove any glue residue.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the New Edging* Measure the length of the furniture edge where the new edging will be applied.
* Cut the new edging to the desired length using a miter saw or a sharp knife.
* If necessary, sand the ends of the edging to ensure a smooth fit.

Step 3: Apply Wood Glue* Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the underside of the new edging.
* Spread the glue evenly using a brush or a cotton swab.

Step 4: Apply the New Edging* Align the new edging with the edge of the furniture and press it into place.
* Use clamps to hold the edging in place until the glue dries.
* Wipe away any excess glue that seeps out from the edges.

Step 5: Trim and Sand the Edging* Once the glue has dried, use a sharp knife or a sanding block to trim any excess edging.
* Sand the edges of the edging to create a smooth and flush surface.

Step 6: Finish the Edge* Apply a stain or paint to the new edging to match the color of the furniture.
* You can also apply a protective finish, such as a clear varnish or polyurethane, to protect the edging from moisture and wear.

Tips:* Use high-quality wood edging that is durable and long-lasting.
* Make sure the new edging is cut to the exact length to ensure a seamless fit.
* Be patient and take your time to remove the old edging without damaging the furniture.
