Skipping edge banding Some people forget or even ignore the edges of furniture after applying Veneer. This looks unfinished and also makes the Veneer more likely to peel off from the sides. You need to always use edge banding or vineyard tape to seal the edges. This makes the piece look complete and also protects it from damage. Not sealing the Veneer properly Veneer is made of real good and it can absorb moisture, fade or get stained if left unprotected. A common mistake is not sealing the furniture after application. So it is very important for you to apply a good quality sealant Polish after Veneer. This helps protect the surface and makes it very easy to clean.
