When the edge banding has cooled off, you can flush trim the top and bottom edges of the banding with any of several methods. A sharp chisel can be used to trim the edges. Be sure to skew the chisel so that the pressure forces the banding against the wood edge as shown. If you are using a flush trimming tool press the edge of the tool firmly against the face of your panel and slide it along the edge to trim the excess edge banding. Working with the grain direction instead of against the grain will produce a cleaner cut with minimal grain tear out. The traditional way to trim solid wood edge banding flush is to use your hand plane and/or a cabinet scraper. And that’s a fine method too. When you have several shelves or cabinet sides to trim flush, you’ll knock it out faster on your router table, though.
