Materials you'll need:
Veneer edge banding
Contact cement
Tape measure or ruler
Utility knife
Sandpaper or sanding sponge
Hand roller or burnishing tool

Step 1: Prepare the Edge of the Wood:

Ensure that the edge of the wood is clean, straight, and free from any debris or irregularities. Use sandpaper or a sanding sponge to smooth any rough edges and create a clean surface for the edge banding.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Edge Banding:

Measure the length of the edge that needs to be covered and cut the veneer edge banding to the appropriate size using a utility knife or guillotine cutter. Make sure to cut the banding slightly longer than the edge to allow for trimming.

Step 3: Apply Contact Cement:

Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement both to the edge of the wood and the back of the veneer edge banding. Allow the cement to become tacky according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4: Align and Apply the Edge Banding:

Carefully align the edge banding with the edge of the wood and press it firmly into place. Use a hand roller or burnishing tool to apply even pressure and ensure a secure bond.

Step 5: Trim Excess Banding:

Once the edge banding is applied, use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess material at the ends and along the edges. Be careful not to cut into the wood itself.

Step 6: Sand the Edge Banding:

After trimming, use sandpaper or a sanding sponge to smooth out any rough edges and create a seamless transition between the edge banding and the wood. Sand lightly in the direction of the wood grain.

Additional Tips for Success:
Use a high-quality veneer edge banding that is specifically designed for hand application.
Allow ample time for the contact cement to become tacky before adhering the edge banding.
Apply firm, even pressure when pressing the edge banding into place.
Trim the excess banding carefully to avoid damaging the wood or edge banding.
Sand the edges lightly to achieve a professional finish.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily achieve professional-looking results when applying veneer edge banding by hand. Whether you're restoring a treasured heirloom or creating custom furniture, this technique will elevate your projects to the next level.
