It is not a hard process. Find the best suitable glue for your plywood and put it on the edge of your plywood. When you are applying glue, make sure that all the area near the edge of your plywood is covered with glue, and do not leave any dry area. Use glue on both edge and edge banding to ensure a good result.Ultimately, edge banding is used for its visual appeal by removing raw edges from sight. When the same colour and texture are applied to an item, it transforms it from a “homemade” piece into something you would expect to see in a store.

Not all edge banding is iron-on, however, iron-on edging is no different to the other forms of edge banding other than the fact you can (as the name suggests!) iron it in place rather than having to glue it. Apply downward pressure so that the edge trimmer cuts a close to the edge of your plywood as possible.

Since the edge banding is a wood veneer, if you get the edge banding that matches your wood type, your paint or stain should take to your edge-banding the same it takes to the rest of your plywood.

Oak is also more resistant to damage, as the hardwood edge banding is applied with wood glue, making it more dependable and less prone to peeling than an adhesive strip.
