What happens here

Apply edge banding to the exposed edges of the plywood drawer boxes. This is done using an iron to activate the adhesive on the banding, and then a specialized edge band trimmer to remove excess material. The builder notes the convenience of using the trimmer compared to a utility knife.

Goal: Finish the raw edges of the plywood drawers for a clean look.
