Veneer edging tape is a thin strip of wood veneer that is used to cover the exposed edges of wood paneling, such as plywood or particleboard, to create a finished look.
Here are the steps to use veneer edging tape:
Measure the length of the edge to be covered with veneer edging tape and cut a strip of veneer edging tape to that length.
Apply heat to the adhesive side of the veneer edging tape using a clothes iron set to a low heat setting or a heat gun. This will activate the adhesive and make it easier to stick to the wood paneling.

Position the veneer edging tape over the edge of the wood paneling, making sure it is centered and aligned properly.
Use a small roller or a flat object, like a putty knife, to firmly press the veneer edging tape onto the wood paneling.
Trim any excess veneer edging tape using a sharp knife or razor blade, being careful not to damage the wood paneling.
Sand the edges of the veneer edging tape with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots and blend it in with the wood paneling.
Finish the wood paneling with a coat of stain or paint, if desired, to match the color of the veneer edging tape.
That’s it! With these steps, you can easily use veneer edging tape to create a professional-looking finish on your wood paneling.
