- In this video, I will show you the steps that I take when applying Edge Banding. For this video, I wanted to share the technique that I use for applying edge banding. I use heat activated glue edge banding whenever I apply it to any of my plywood projects. The process is quite simple.

Im a carpenter and I liked this video. He explains everything fast, simple and direct.
Thank you
I bought this as a gift for my friend th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
A good tip for you: Since the Iron heats both the veneer and the adhesive, it is best to cool them both with a damp cloth. After ironing the veneer down, simply wipe the veneer with a damp cloth to cool and set the adhesive. Any area that did not stick can be reheated to activate the glue and then cool it again with the damp cloth. Trust me, this is the way to go. Great channel. Keep up the great work!
Billy Brown great tip thanks!!
Thank you for confirming in my mind how to do this. Someone at the company that makes the edge banding suggested to me to use a piece of parchment paper between the iron and the new edging piece in case you have anything burned onto your iron that might come off onto the new band as you iron it on. I thought that was a great suggestion, as irons often have burnt spray starch on them.
We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
Thank for this! Just the right amount of talk - admirable delivery
This is a great video. Great picture quality and camera work to clearly show what you're doing and a clear and well-spoken explanation. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Major thanks for many great videos! I have a lot of cabinets to build and I don't think I'd get anywhere without the help of your videos. Meanwhile, one edge-banding suggestion borrowed from someone named Stumpy: if the banding has any angled grain, only trim one side at a time and in the direction of the grain. It helps prevent the trimmer blade from digging in and tearing out the edge. I don't know how often that's likely to happen or what increases the risk other than the grain angle (poorly held trimmer??? a dull blade that grabs instead of cuts???) but overall I think it makes sense.
Very nicely demonstrated and explained. As always, thanks for your time and knowledge ... Cheers!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I am new new new to all this woodworking and boy I like the edge of the birch ply :)
very thorough and thank you for no background music. Very well done 0:09
Coincidentally, I needed to edge band a drawer that had been trimmed leaving the plywood showing. You didn't really show me anything I didn't already THINK I knew, but you confirmed the procedure and gave me confidence to go ahead. The job came out very nicely. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful
😂 literally why I'm here. Self assurance/ reaffirmation. I'm glad I am not the only one.
You explain easily and so well things for newwoodworkers like me. Great youtuber. Thanks
Gilles sophie thank you very much!!
Great job sir. I am going to try this process.
This is amazing! I liked it so much! I also made edge bander transformer
this is great, I was gonna fill it with drywall putty and paint it but now this edge bending technique is so tempting...
Give it a shot 👍
In the cabinetry shop I work at, we flush the edge of the banding to the finished side of the plywood. Then we just take a file and get the overhang off that way. Never seen a edge band trimmer like that, it's really neat
Works very well and makes quick work of it.
@josher1129 The nice thing about using a file is that it will basically last forever because the glue can easily be removed with a stiff brush, whereas with the edge band trimmer, the blade will gunk up and dull from the glue in the edge banding.
What file does your shop use for edge banding?
@zoki kostadinov Just apply some more glue - contact adhesive as once glue has set it is absorbed into particle board.
Yes p👏👏👏
That really did come out nice! This would be a new project for me... But I like the looks of it better than plain plywood. Many blessings to you!
Thank you! Yes it really transforms the look and you can get it to match any species of plywood you get.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Birch plywood is very nice material indeed, and the edge banding looks excellent!
Janne Väätäinen thank you!
Such a clear explanation. Very good video 👍
Glad you found it helpful
Such a helpful video!! Thank you!
You’re welcome
I was curious to ask as far as the temperature setting on the iron?
Also when standing down the edges like that what are we talking about for grit? 220?
I love all your videos.and i learn alot.now i am also doing alot of woodworks
Great to hear!
Thanks! Great video. Great tradesman ship.
Thank you
Thank you sir for the video. Itis very helpful
You’re welcome

Glad it was helpful!
Nice explaination
Came from Jays tour of your shop. Subscribed.
Super easy to follow and I gotta get those flush cutters!
Glad you found it helpful
Dear- Wonderful style and great work ... Ali - Jeddah - Saudi Arabia
Thank u so much for this video
You’re welcome
Great informative video!
You’re welcome
That looks much easier than wrapping the edge with solid wood...I tried edge banding years ago...I assume the glues are better now...I will look into this again..great video by the way 😉
My Opinion thank you again Sir. I used hardwood as well for the longest time and then finally bought some edge banding. So easy and fast to apply and I have had no issues with it coming off thus far.
Great tutorial. 😁
Darrell Blair thank you
wow how simple, I always had a stigma against doing edge banding myself.. but this looks really easy and BEAUTIFUL!
Great Job Nicely Done 🔨📐📏👍🏽
Thank you
nice video thank you
You’re welcome
Great video demonstration! Regards from Delhi, India
Thank you
I really appreciate your in-depth tutorials. This one included. One thing I’d like to know, is the temperature for the iron, and steam or no steam? I had to edge band a round table and I’m never sure about how hot the iron should be.
of course! glad you found this video helpful
great video thx
You’re welcome
Great video and thanks for the consistent help! What if you need a perimeter edge band (4 sides)? Do you just butt the corners and sand smooth, or try and wrap the corners and let it crack then sand it smooth?
I would do my front face last. Each side individually.
Very slick
👍
Use a cooling block. As you apply heat with the iron have a smooth hand block following behind pressing down and cooling the tape down faster. You get a much better bond with the plywood.
This glue setting up thingee would have been from years ago.
I'm a custom cabinet maker and it's still used today. I'll only use real wood veneer edge banding. For solid color I use PVC edge band and contact cement it on. The pre-glued polyester edge tape is garbage.@@gregre052
Fantastic tutorial. I have never really worked with wood and you have helped me understand some basics! Whatvwas the yellow too you used called again please?
Thank u for that video
My pleasure
Some DIY videos are too much talk, some have no explanation. Thank you for providing a balance.
You’re welcome
I had a question about the heat of the iron, but searched the comments and found the answer. I have a edge banding project coming up and you made the process crystal clear!! Great video Jason!!
Glad you found it helpful
I saw one video where a guy used a trim router to trim up edge banding. Seemed to get a good result.
Definitely an option
With the double sided trimmer, one side is going against the grain and can be pulled in. In another video, it was suggested to do each edge with the grain to minimize the little bumps.
I was looking for a temperature on the iron. Cotton or polyester?
Thanks for the great video!
How do you prevent/deal-with glue squeeze out onto the plywood?
do you run into the issue of some edge banding not cutting clean where it slightly tears into the face portion of the banding
Nice video. You need to add the heat setting for the iron in the video notes. Thanks.
Sir plz explain about door stiffeners and whether 7 x 4 ft 25 mm block board using for sliding ward robe door needs door stiffeners. If so how many.
Nice
👍
Great video! Any suggestions if you were to edge band more than just the front? I'm interested in your technique for finishing a corner if both adjoining sides are edge banded.
I would do the sides first then the front
Jason, I have not used edge banding in the past as I'm concerned for its long term adhesion. Have you found that the glue holds up well over the long haul as doors and drawers are used. Also, have you stained any pieces? I ask because I'm wondering if the stain where the edges meet will be darker and draw attention to the glue line. Thanks
Hi, great tutorial! Sorry for my question...but what is that tool for cutting both edges? Thank u so much
It’s a edgebanding trimmer from fastcap
My table is 2 and quarter inch so how would I do edge banding? Do they make edge banding that thick or do I put 2 roles on
What would you suggest to trim the edge band if I do not have the thingamajig you have?
What setting on the iron? Thanks
Awesome instructions!! We order from your links!!! Hope the wife doesn’t notice the iron is gone. 😂😂😂
Lol yeah you don’t want to get in trouble
Good evening,I have a curved piece of hdf how can I fix it.thanks
Thanks for the video! You don’t think a roller is needed to apply more pressure?
With glue I do not
never used edge banding . does it come in a variety of woods and colors?
Sure does
I have been searcing for a good brand of 3/4 to 7/8” birch edge banding. Bought 2-3 dfferent brands and all crappy. Either dont adhere well or the splice is terrible or they tear out badly when trimming excess. Any tips
Unfortunately I don’t know the brand I use. I have had good results thought. Take a look at the Fast cap edge banding trimmers or consider using a flush trim bit.
I have melamine maple-colored edge banding now. I want to paint my cabinets white. Can I use white melamine edge banding on TOP OF the existing melamine edge banding? Or will it only adhere to plywood or particle board?
Tracy Siddall I’m not really sure, I have never tried that. You could test it out on some scrap wood and see how it works. I would be interested to find out
Thanks for the video. Could I put edge banding over existing edge banding without removing the old banding? The current one was white but has since yellowed.
Personally I wouldn’t add any over existing edge banding
Yes but it'll show on the edges. Use a razor to peel off the old banding, scrape off the old glue, then apply new banding.
@@brianb3107 A little heat helps also.
What setting on the iron
Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience so clearly. I have some pieces that want edge banding on all four edges (drawer fronts). Can the edge banding take a sharp corner? Is it better to treat each edge by itself, but sand the corners when all is applied?
Jim Cooper apply to each individually. Then you can sand it
@@bentswoodworking thank you!
Can you paint the edge banding?
What is the temperature settings on the iron ?
Can you sand and stain your plywood after?
I see the veneer that you used is unfinished and will finish with the rest of the panel. When using pre-finished banding on pre-finished panels should I worry much about sealing the trimmed edge of the banding? (Real wood not PVC)
I wouldn’t, no
Hey, great job! May I know if that’s a 1mm or a 0.5mm edgeband?
I believe this was .5mm
Edge banding "after" assembly - how to video would be great.
Can you apply the edge band veneer on top of laminate?
I don’t know how well it would adhere to laminate
Do you have a video that shows how to make the edge banding corner joint seemlessly? Thanks
I do not
That’s what I am looking for too!
Hi, now edge banging for your own self is good but for clients work such as wardrobes do you think its good enough to do yourself ? i mean will it really last and not peel off?
Depends on the quality of edge banding you are using and the method of applying it
Curious why you went with birch? Are there differmt types? And if so what are the differences?
You can get edge banding in any material
Thanks..
Is it possible to roundover the edges with a router after installing the edge band?
It would have to be a very small round over
@@michaeldancurtis Thanks
@@bentswoodworking Thanks
Looks like there's tear out after flushing the sides. What's up with that?
Hi can you help, I know it🎉probably me but regarding the edgebanding trimmer I've bought a few gone to use it and just rips the edgebanding to bits. It looks like the bits are fitted inside but I could be wrong, do I have to start by fitting a blade although it looks like one is there or am I wrong because I have no idea what I'm looking for I would be pulling my hair out if I had any 😂. Geoff
What grit is the sanding block?
Hi ,
I have a doubt what is the difference between edge binding and doing the same process using a cut piece of the veneer and gluing it there
The difference would be that edge banding is much faster and consistent, and often sold as a match to the finished plywood. Making your own hardwood finish would be superior in terms of durability, but has challenges in terms of the finish matching the finished plywood, and would be much more expensive in terms of labor.
subs done sir.
I am painting my ply project with white paint. Do I need to purchase white edge band or can it be painted?
It can be painted just the same. 👍
Do you stain/seal the edge banding ? or do you stain/seal wood then apply a matching color banding?
Hardwood edge banding I treat the same as the wood
@@bentswoodworking Sweet thanks! do you sand the wood before applying the banding of after?
What did you use for temperature? (High, medium, low?) steam?
David Morrison I believe it was on high and I do use steam. I never really paid much attention to the settings to be totally honest
Cotton/ wool setting works well.
Anyone know if you can stain edge banding?
Yes
I’ve stained my birch plywood, including the sides, then I realized I should have put edge banding on. Do you know if the glue will stick to oil based stain?
You will probably experience some issues with adhesion
Safe $30 and use the edge flush pliers on the entire thing especially if you don’t have many of these to do, right?
hello! just want to ask, i dont know exactly what type of edge banding is that.. bcoz, I bought one before, and tried ironing it, but doesnt stick.. how to know if the edge band is heat activated glue type.. pretty sure it is atleast 2mm in thickness ^_^
It should say on the package if it is glue
@@bentswoodworking
Where will i get this
Where do you get your edge banding?
Jake Carter I get mine from my local lumber supplier. Same supplier I get all my plywood.
What should be the temperature of the iron ???
is recommended to use an Iron temperature setting around 370-400 degrees F or otherwise; your wood edge banding will burn off and ruin your project. One thing you should do is to wait for at least 30 seconds after applying heat so that the glue melts completely and sticks onto plywood properly
Could you add an (affiliated) amazon link to the trimmer please?
Check out Fastcaps Quad trimmer. Just Google it. Great products.
