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 used this to cover the edges of some plywood shelves I built and it turned out nice. The roll comes with plenty of material and the width fit my boards perfectly. The adhesive activates easily with a regular household iron. After heating, I pressed it down and trimmed the extra with a sharp blade without any problems.The finish looks clean once applied and blends well with the rest of the wood. The veneer feels sturdy and has held up fine so far without peeling or chipping. This was my first time using edge banding and the process was pretty simple.Good option if you are doing small furniture repairs or 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.

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.

I bought one 100ft roll and one 50ft roll for my DIY walk in closet cabinet. The quality is very good and easy to use for DIYers. The color matchs my cabinet very well. I like it. However, the 50ft roll is fratured/broken due to squeezing. I need to use them urgently so I could not ask a replacement because they want it back if you want a replacement. This is reasonable. So, I contacted the customer service, they immediately refund me without shipping it back. I was so pleased with the customer service. I will absolutely recommend it.

I see some complaints relating to adhesion - this was not my experience. This could very well be down to inconsistency in manufacturing, but in my experience this outperformed 2 others brands that I have used.Specifically, this product did not tear-out while trimming, and once adhered to a prepared surface it does not readily separate. It does help to ensure that you are using a heat source that is appropriate for the task.Caveat: once again, Your Mileage May Vary - but I had absolutely no problems with this. If you find that you struggle with adhesion, you CAN purchase separate heat-bonding adhesives and supplement if you encounter difficulties... Although many would consider this not worth the time and effort, it helps to cut down on waste in the shop. Adhesive is cheap - but so is edge banding, so you do you!

Worked perfect to finish the edge on a three-quarter inch piece of plywood. Pretty easy to iron on with a regular iron. Just put the top of it flush with the top of the plywood and then I use a razor blade knife to shave about a 16th of an inch off of the bottom.I would totally buy it again.

Product is extremely thin compared to some of the store bought 3/4" I have used in the past. The heat activated glue is even thin in comparison. Some might think this is an advantage , but with the product being thin it curls very easily when heating, and the glue doesn't bond very well since it's so thin. After trimming the edges I noticed I had some air bubbles on the product. When I applied secondary heat to remove the air bubbles, the product actually shrank and exposed about a 1/16 of the plywood edge. The color is also not that great. To me it doesn't look like Birch, but more of a white pine due to its yellow tinge.
