FAQs

What type of iron setting should I use?

Use a medium-high heat setting, typically for cotton or linen fabrics. Crucially, ensure the steam function is turned OFF as moisture can interfere with the adhesive.

Can I use this on curved edges?

This edging is primarily designed for straight linear edges. While it can conform to gentle curves, sharp or complex curves may be difficult to apply cleanly and may require specialized techniques or products.

How long is the roll?

The roll is 7.5 meters long.

What is the actual width of the wood veneer?

The veneer width is 22mm.

Do I need to sand the wood panel edge first?

Generally, no, unless the edge is very rough or uneven. If using on chipboard, it's recommended to fill and smooth any significant imperfections with wood filler before applying the edging.

Can this be used outdoors?

No, this product is designed and recommended for indoor use only. Exposure to weather and moisture will degrade the adhesive and the veneer.

How do I clean the applied edging?

A soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the oak veneer.

Can I paint over the oak veneer?

While you can paint it, the intended finish is to stain, varnish, or wax the natural oak to complement your furniture. Painting might obscure the wood grain.

Troubleshooting

Edging not sticking properly

Ensure the iron is sufficiently hot (medium-high setting) and that you are applying firm, even pressure for the recommended duration. Make sure the surface of the wood panel is clean and free from dust or debris.

Veneer bubbling or scorching

Reduce the iron's heat setting slightly and reduce the contact time. Move the iron continuously to prevent overheating any single spot. Ensure steam is turned off.

Edges lifting after application

Reapply heat with the iron to the affected area, ensuring good contact. For stubborn areas, consider carefully adding a small amount of wood glue underneath and re-ironing.

Difficulty trimming excess material

Use a very sharp utility knife, a craft knife, or a specialized veneer trimming tool. A dull blade can tear the veneer. Make clean, single passes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and fast application with a household iron
  • Provides a professional, finished look to raw edges
  • Real oak veneer allows for custom finishing (stain, varnish, wax)
  • Suitable for various wood-based panels like MDF, plywood, and chipboard
  • Durable enough for everyday use
  • Environmentally conscious with sustainable sourcing

Cons

  • Strictly for indoor use only
  • May require wood filler for very uneven chipboard edges prior to application
  • Requires careful temperature control with the iron to prevent damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the edge of your wood panel. Cut the edging tape to the required length, adding a small overlap for a clean finish.
  2. Preheat Iron: Set a standard household iron to a medium-high heat setting (typically cotton or linen setting). Ensure the steam function is turned OFF.
  3. Apply Heat: Place the iron-on edging along the panel edge. Glide the hot iron firmly over the edging tape for approximately 10-15 seconds, applying even pressure.
  4. Secure Edge: Press down gently on the newly applied edge. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Trim Excess: Carefully trim any slight overlap at the ends using a sharp utility knife or a specialized veneer trimmer.
  6. Finishing (Optional): Once cooled, you can apply wood stain, varnish, or wax to match your furniture. Test your chosen finish on a scrap piece first.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal For: MDF, plywood, and standard particleboard.
  • Chipboard: Can be used on chipboard, but for uneven surfaces, apply a thin layer of wood filler to smooth the edge before application.
  • Not Recommended For: Metal, plastic, or fabric surfaces.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this is an interior product.
  • Protect from direct, prolonged exposure to heat or sunlight which could affect the adhesive or veneer.
