Edge banding that looks like plywood . . .

[robgul]

I'm trying to source edge banding to use on a large shelf unit that's going to be made from MDF - BUT needs to look like plywood on the edges (don't ask, it's not my idea!) - I've hunted around but can't find a supplier (Amazon lists a product but it's "currently unavailable"

I did consider cutting plywood to about 4 or 5mm strips on the bandsaw but that's a bit tricky for the lengths I need (spans of 1.5 metres)

Anyone have any ideas please?

Try kitchen makers esp Howdens as our has that fake ply edging.

You could try stabilising the plywood edge by gluing on a strip of whatever you have to hand. Cut off the the 4/5mm of plywood and glue it the the MDF. Then remove the stabiliser.

How many meters fo you need and when? I may be able to add some for you on my next order later this week.

I was about to offer the same as Chrispy.....I'm putting an order into my supplier early next week and could add it on for you.

Thanks (and to Chrispy) - I'll need about 5 lengths at about 1.5 metres BUT I haven't got the job yet, and that's unlikely before the end of April at best guess (it's a house reno and the chap is well short of decisive!) Out of interest where do you buy it?

Thanks - I had considered something like that but it's the 1.5 metre length that is potenitally tricky for me.

Would this product from SL Hardwoods be what you need?
