Review on Made in USA White Melamine 3/4 inch X 50 ft Roll of Pre-Glued Edge Banding - Easy Application Iron-On Edging for Cabinet Repairs and Furniture Restoration - Flexible and High-Quality Edging Supply by Sam Bauer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, plain edges * Instructions

I used this product to ensure a uniform finish for the vinyl on the countertop so it wouldn't show but made a big difference. Firstly, this product is very easy to use. Second, I've included a few instructions that I've compiled and adapted below. Third, it has strong adhesion and is not prone to discoloration during application. To save the DIYers some research I've compiled and added the process here: 1: Unwind and tape and position with some sort of masking tape, not plastic tape. 2: Snap at the end by bending the edge (leave some extra to cut with a razor if you don't close). 3: Set the iron to maximum or use a special edge straightener. 4: *Disclaimer: I used a household iron, so this step may be different if you buy it specifically for edging. Move the iron around and press down on the preheated area with a very thick pad (I used a square oven pad folded in half (to make 4 layers)) to allow the glue to set a bit. I recommend doing your best to avoid seams as I did this by gluing and making very long strips. Also note that this does not fix edge errors; You will be wiring across the strip.

Pros
