What happens here
Apply iron-on edge banding to all exposed plywood edges of the cabinet carcass. This veneer-like material, made from the same wood as the plywood, has a heat-activated adhesive on the back. Use a household iron on a medium setting (no steam) to press the edge banding onto the plywood. Once cooled, use a razor blade to carefully trim any excess banding flush with the plywood surface. Finally, sand the edges with 80-120 grit sandpaper to create a smooth, seamless transition between the banding and the plywood surface. Be careful not to sand into the plywood itself.
Goal: Cover exposed plywood edges with iron-on edge banding to create a clean, finished look, then trim and sand for a seamless finish.
