Default edge banding?

If it's a good bond what should I do to prep the laminated edges.


I've used both types (glue on and iron on) and never had any real problems.
For applying, I make sure one edge is closer to flush. When it's all
applied, I use a sanding block to remove the close to flush edge and for the
other edge which has more waste, I trim it off with a razor knife and then
finish off with a sanding block.

Only real difference I've noticed with the iron on type is that when you're
sanding the edges off, you're going to spend a little more sanding time to
remove adhesive waste. The iron on type goes on faster, the glue on type
takes a little longer to dry, but the differences are about equal
considering that one requires more sanding time. It's pretty much an equal
trade off.
