I'm about to build my new kitchen cabinetry out of melamine particle board, and I don't want to use the melamine edge tape, but would like to have the ABS woodgrain edge as I am making solid wooden doors.
Is there any way of adhering ABS without an edgebander machine?
I welcome any other ideas for the edging on this project.
Cheers

If you are making solid wooden doors why would you want to use edge strips
Keith,
a couple of options:
1. Cut your board to size and take it to a cabinetmaker for him to stick the edging on.
2. Use contact cement to stick it on and trim off with a trimmer/router with a flush trimming bit.
3. Use iron on veneer edge banding to match your timber doors instead.

Edgebanders use hotmelt glue.
You could try contact adhesive but make sure it doesnt eat into the ABS.
Do you mean you want to edge the veneered doors with a veneer edgetape? If so, use contact adhesive.
Because I don't want a white melamine strip showing in the reveal of the cabinets and I think wood veneer would not be as hardy as 2mm woodgrain ABSQuote:

Another method would be to attach solid wood strips to the edge of the board, lots of work but we used to do it a few years ago
