Hi guys,
I am making some shelves for my daughter, who is very demanding . The shelves are made of 3/4" plywood and she is not happy with the raw edges, so I proposed to glue some thin rectangular wood profiles (hardwood edges) to the edge of the plywood before painting. I made the profiles 1/128-1/64" thicker than the plywood and planned to sand off the rest by hand (I don't have a thickness sander). Unfortunately, it was difficult to glue the profiles exactly flush with the plywood, because they tend to float a little bit up or down during the glueing process and don't look perfect. How do you guys glue profiles to the edges of plywood or MDF? I could have made them 1/16" thicker than the plywood but since I don't have a thickness sander, I am not sure that I can sand the oversize away with a belt sander so that it looks good.
Thanks
Tom
