Hey Bill, I'll add that the one pain in the backside I've had with edge banding is that the material I've used often has splices in it where shorter pieces are joined together to make the long roll. While this is nearly impossible to spot before finishing, I've found it very easy to spot after finishing. So... if you're using edge banding and you don't want a spice right smack in the wrong place, pay close attention. Also, on corners I like to have a mitered look, so I use an exacto knife and a metal triangle to make a 45 degree cut across the edge. Works pretty well.
