The first step to fixing an edge banding to wooden edges is cleaning the edges with sand paper. You need to smoothen out the plywood edge first. Sand the edges into a smooth round and vacuum the area. Iron the edges of the veneer edge banding to prepare it for the adhesive. Ensure that the veneer does not get scorched. Hold the hot veneer over the glue and press it with a wooden block until the glue binds to it tightly. Once the glue sticks to the veneer, press the edge banding against a solid surface and trim off the edges in thin slices. A utility knife works here. Use a trimmer to slice the shimmed side, such that it presses perfectly against the plywood.
