GSCIT Club Birch Edge Banding, 3/4 inch x 50ft roll of Veneer Pre-glued Flexible, Real Wood Tape Banding for Cabinet Repair Furniture Restoration

I built a cabinet that has two drawers made from birch plywood. I ironed this edge banding to the tops of my drawer sides before gluing them together. This was the first time that I've used edge banding. I used my wife's iron (she said it was OK) at the highest setting. It glued on very nicely. I was going to buy an 'official' edge band cutter but since it would have limited use, I decided to try using an x-acto chisel blade. I let the edge banding cool and the chisel blade worked great for trimming the banding. I then sanded the edges to have the banding blend perfectly to the plywood. I was happy to see how the color matched perfectly and plan to use this edge banding on more cabinet projects.

The media could not be loaded. This birch banding was pleasantly surprising. It was much less expensive than the roll at Home Depot. This product has a slightly more yellow cast than the name brand at big box stores. But it didn’t bother me at all. It came in a much larger roll. I liked that this size was just over 3/4 inch so there was very little trimming to do for the 3/4 inch plywood.I think it’s important when trimming to trim with the grain, not against it. This will prevent the tape from splitting and more being cut off than you want.The ease of applying it was great. It heated nicely with my Rowena iron. I’ve also used my Oliso with it and it worked great too. Both irons at hottest setting. I then take a heavy item or a spare block of wood and press it in after the iron has secured it. This helps the piece bond tightly with out the heat. Waiting until the product is fully cooled before trimming helps. It sanded well and I haven’t tried to paint or stain it yet. Overall very pleased and will order more in the future. Perfect for top of my drawer boxes and slide out pantry shelves.

This is the first edge banding I've used so I don't have anything to compare it to. It's obviously thin, but it should be just as durable as the thin veneer on birch plywood. The thinness let me bend it around a fairly tight corner without issue which was nice. One gripe is that it has finger-jointed splices about every 5 feet. I wasn't expecting that but maybe it's normal? Fortunately I was able to hide thw splice on the side of my piece, but you might not always be able to do that. It's just shy of 3/4" width so it fits 18mm plywood well, but you should go up a size up for anything bigger.

The product is great for home DIY’s but the quality is not 100%. It worked great for our project but there were some weird seams in it that required me to waste material. I would purchase again but just be aware that you might not have a fully usable 50 feet of material.

Wonderful product. Strong adhesive and easy to iron on. We used a mini iron and it worked great.

Good quality edge banding. Easy to install.

Very handy to have around...

Was very disappointed in this product. The glue didn't hold well and the banding showed bubbles after it cooled. Ironing it again didn't help. I had to remove it and start over with a different product. No, I'm not new to this. Others seem to like it so perhaps I got a bad roll. Still, I'm not going to buy from this source again.
