Iron on edge strip query

[Hpd]

I’ve got new white carcasses for my kitchen and have been supplied black iron on laminate edge stuff for the fronts, so the carcasses aren’t shown through the doors when closed.

Am I supposed to iron this straight into the white carcass edge? Or do I peel the existing white off and then iron straight to the chipboard edge?

Lastly, what’s the best method to cut it off neatly after ironing it all on?

Cheers!

Black doors yep. So it is supposed to iron straight over then? Cheers

Iron straight onto the existing edge. Use a cloth between the iron and the new tape. I found the best finish was to deliberately leave it with an overhang on both edges and cut the excess off with a stanley knife.

or, file it off with a 6" - 8" flat file. this way you can take off the sharp arris.
