Woodworking Tip: How to Use Iron on Edge Banding

My Woodworking Plans jonpeters.com/...
In today’s video, I am going to focus on Iron on Edge Wood Banding. Iron on Edge Wood Banding is made of real wood with a heat activated adhesive on the back. You can get edge wood banding in different species of wood, like walnut, cherry, maple, and birch.
I tend to use the iron on edge wood banding for woodworking projects like drawer fronts, doors, and selves.

Still being a newbie, I can REALLY appreciate the time & effort in what a simple video like this can help us less experienced woodworkers!

Always appreciate a tutorial using basic supplies. Thank you!

Thanks Jennifer

Well, I just learned that I have been edge banding all wrong. Your method is so much more efficient than how I have been doing it. Of course despite using countless feet of the stuff I had no idea that you could snap it so easy to make a clean edge. I can't thank you enough for this tip!

[@bosdoank4202]

thank you very much for your knowledge and tips, very very useful for me who are just about to start learning to make furniture without HPL, may God repay your kindness, thank you very much sir🙏

I’ve been adding Heat n Bond iron-on adhesive to the plywood side for extra durability. The iron-on adhesive is originally designed for permanently adhering fabrics together. But that extra layer of adhesive makes a world of a difference for projects that are often moved around; ie speakers. I’ve had simple carpet fibers snag the edge banding and completely remove it. Heat n Bond is also the only method I know of on repairing pulled apart edge banding.

Hello Jon I used both technics and I prefer the sanding. Good video

[@GETCRUNK1318]

Really helpful concise video Jon. Thank you

[@garystovall4225]

Enjoy ur videos Jon, been a fan for years, thank you for them.

[@jacktyler7599]

Hey, a new iron! You taught me how to do this several years ago, Jon, and while simple it's been useful for me a number of times now. Thanks!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Jack, it’s Funny I still get a lot of questions about edge banding so I thought I’d make a new video a little more up to date.

[@SureIamLucky]

Great instruction, you make it easy

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Paul!

[@stevecollins9450]

I prefer sanding the edge of the banding as well, Jon.

[@holdemNE1]

I knew all of this already yet I still enjoyed the video.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Mike

[@markbryan9989]

Thanks for the tutorial! Haven't tried edge banding yet but this video gives me the confidence to go for it. Thanks Jon.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Mark, it’s good stuff Very easy to use and I’ve never had it fail

[@regsparkes6507]

I have to reinstall some edge banding soon for a friends counter top, I'll look into this 'iron on' banding to see how it works for me. Thanks for these tips.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks

[@sapelesteve]

Great tip Jon! I didn't even know that they made adhesive wooden edge banding. Thanks.....👍👍

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Steve!

[@thadraperyfallz]

I thought this was a much bigger production than you made it look! Definitely gives me the confidence to give it a whirl

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Video instructive,merci à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

[@dessertman1181]

Very well done Jon a great product 👍

[@JaneDoeDoeDeeOhDoe]

Thank you for the video. I have an IKEA countertop I want to cut down, but no edging strips. I'm going to try your method with an edge banding strip.

Thanks Tommy! ... it’s cool piece of Birch plywood ... This cabinet is going to really help me get organized 👍

[@harryboyt7004]

Hi, great video, I’ve recently started using this kind of iron on edge banding and I’ve had issues with it failing the day after… but I did subject it to heat in my spray room (so the paint dries quicker) and I think that re-activated the glue. Thoughts?

[@MegaThepow]

How durable is edge banding? Will it peal off over time?

[@barb5393]

Do you need to add water to the iron?

[@C2IT678]

Will it stick to an edge that has been painted?

[@chevyvega6622]

off subject, how often do you have to clean out that dust collector you have outside the shop? Does it serve you well? Im looking into different systems, any info appreciated!!

[@offroadcrazy]

Do you put water in the iron or run it dry?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

No I use it dry

[@offroadcrazy]

Ok. Thanks for responding.

[@joeelizalde2693]

Hi Jon, just wondering what is your best method for cutting veneer plywood .

[@Xiomaro01]

Try a fine tooth file for cutting the edges next time.

[@albertkelly7129]

[@JonPetersArtHome]
