Real oak veneer edging tape, 22mm wide on a 50m roll, gives cut edges of oak boards, shelving panels and worktops a clean, timber-matched finish. The pre-applied hot-melt adhesive bonds with a domestic iron or edge bander, making it a practical choice for both trade and DIY cabinet work.

Specifications

What it's used for

• Edging oak-faced MDF and chipboard shelving to hide the substrate core
• Finishing the exposed edges of oak worktops and kitchen cabinet panels
• Matching veneer edges on flat-pack and bespoke furniture builds
• Tidying cut edges on oak plywood where a neat face is required

Fitting and handling

Before applying, allow the edging tape to reach room temperature if it has been stored in a cold environment, as a chilled roll can cause the adhesive to bond unevenly. Set a domestic iron to a medium-high setting, press the tape firmly along the edge, and work in short sections to keep the adhesive active while you apply pressure. Once cool, trim any overhang flush using a sharp edge trimmer or chisel plane, then lightly sand with 180-grit paper for a tidy, paint- or oil-ready finish.

FAQ

Will this edging tape work with a standard household iron?

Yes. A domestic iron set to a medium-high heat activates the hot-melt adhesive reliably. Use a dry setting rather than steam, and apply firm, even pressure as you move along the tape. A small offcut of timber makes a useful pressing block to keep the tape flat while the glue sets.

How do I trim the tape flush without splitting the veneer?

A purpose-made edge trimmer gives the cleanest result and is widely available from woodworking suppliers. Alternatively, a very sharp chisel held flat to the face will pare the overhang back without tearing. Always work from the ends inward to avoid lifting the corners of the tape.

Is 22mm wide enough for standard 18mm board?

Yes. The 22mm width gives 2mm of overhang on each face of an 18mm panel, which is the correct amount to allow for trimming flush. It also suits 15mm and 16mm sheet materials with slightly more overhang to trim back.
