Edge banding is the narrow strip of material used to cover the exposed edges of panels (like MDF, plywood, or particleboard) by edge banding machine in furniture. It both protects and finishes raw edges, sealing them against moisture and giving a clean, polished look.

I have never used 3mm edgebanding. So here are some questions.. I appreciate your inputs / advice
1. Best place to source them?
2. Plastic 3mm edge banding.. is it easy to work with (bendable?)?
3. Do 3mm edgebanding use the same heat activated glue?
4. Do i need any special equipment like the conturo? Or can i just use good old iron on techniques?
5. If they dont come with glue.. how do i apply them? Contact cement? Too time consuming?
6. Compared to hardwood (real wood)edgebanding do these have any significant benefit?
Thanks.. much for your inputs.
I knew nothing about this, but I am learning.
This company sells the edgebanding as a "raw material" to other manufacturers who apply the adhesive. (If I am reading this correctly).

When it comes to PVC, we recommend 3mm edging in general because it goes on cleaner, quicker, and with better adhesion. Another advantage is that you get a graceful radius and a nice soft-looking finish. In general, we avoid .5mm edging because the corners tend to be too sharp.
