Steps to Apply PVC Edge Banding
Now, let’s break down the steps. Don't worry; you can do this!
1. Measure the Edges
"How do I know how much banding I need?" you ask. Simply measure the edges of the surface you’re covering. Write down the measurements, and add a little extra length for trimming later.
2. Cut the Banding
Once you have your measurements, it's time to cut. "What should I use to cut it?" Use scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut.
3. Prepare the Surface
Make sure the edge you’re applying to is clean and dry. Any dirt or moisture will interfere with adhesion.
4. Position the Banding
Place the banding on the edge. "How do I know it's straight?" Use a straightedge or ruler to align it properly.
5. Apply Heat
Grab your iron. Set it to a low temperature. Gently press the iron on the banding for a few seconds. "Will it stick?" Yes, it should adhere well.
6. Trim Excess Banding
Once the edge banding is applied, you may have some overlaps. Use your utility knife to remove any excess. "What if I don't have a trimmer?" No worries, a sharp knife works too.
7. Sand It Smooth
After trimming, use sandpaper on the edges. "Why do I need to do this?" It gives a smooth finish and removes any sharp edges.

Look over your work. "Does it look good?" If everything is applied neatly, it should! Take pride in the clean edges you've created.
