It heats up in 45 seconds on the highest setting, making it a must-have for those with time constraints. Lastly, peel off the edge banding.

The cutting part is as same as I mentioned before. After cutting the edge banding, take a good adhesive glue and put it on the edge of the plywood, then press the edge banding onto that glue.

The iron-on version of edge banding can usually be used on anything that regular edge banding would be added to. It’s the perfect way to finish shelving, cabinets, and worktops.

Because there’s glue attached to one side of the supplies, and when an appliance like iron heats it up, that adhesive starts melting, which then attaches itself permanently onto whatever was used as a heat source, and removing this particular glue would be difficult and could ruin your clothes.
