I have some kitchen cupboard doors which are in good order except that the laminate has peeled off some of the edges. I have used contact adhesive to fix most of it back on but there are some frayed bits at the corners which could do with replacing. my plan is to cut and stick edge laminate on cutting away the frayed original pieces but I cannot find suitable 15mm wide laminate edging stock. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Iron on edging normally comes in something like 20 to 22mm (sometimes 25mm, sometimes wider) width to accommodate standard 18mm MFC. It isn't made for specific width materials like 15mm. You apply it with a warm iron (not too hot, dont let the missus catch you!), then trim the overhangs off with a hand laminate trimmer (e.g.a Virutex) or something like a glass scraper (Stanley, yellow plastic, etc) or a sharp plane iron.

Ahh OK. I'll get some 22mm edging and put a new blade in my stanley.
Thanks Job & Knock.
