Thanks!

Chris, the best product that matches is made by FastCap (FastCap). It is called FastEdge. The best match for Adel Medium Brown is Fuji Cherry. Part number FE.WP. 3/4-50. FC for a 3/4" 50' roll. Make sure you get the laminate trimmer and roller with it. I think it is about 0.75-$1 per foot. You can't order it direct but they will give you the name of a local distributor.

I know they have Oak products also but have never used any of them.

Re: Questions about Edge Banding

I just got edgebanding to match Adel Med. Brown from a company called Edge It. It is the Bourbon Cherry by Fast edge. The Edge it company was really awesome. I sent them a small piece of cover panel and a gentleman named Kieth Rowe matched it for me. I highly recommend this company. Kieth got back to me as soon as he got the sample and then shipped out what I needed right away. Their website address is Edgebanding edge banding tape veneer edging, pvc and wood veneer

Re: Questions about Edge Banding

Has anyone matched Nexus Yellow Brown yet? I just ordered some samples from Fastcap which ikitchensetc recommended (thanks!). The samples I'm getting are from their prefinished wood veneer line. Hopefully'll I'll find a match. I'll keep you posted, but if anyone else finds a match, please let us all know. Thanks!

Re: Questions about Edge Banding

I really suggest sending a sample of the coverpanel to Keith Rowe at Edge It
P.O. Box 772, Sheboygan, WI 53082. Send him your phone number or e-mail address and he'll let you know the best match. I found him awesome to deal with.

Re: Questions about Edge Banding

I just received swatches from FastCap! I think the Prefinished Teak is pretty much a perfect match for Nexus Yellow Brown color-wise and the grain is very similar. Their edge banding product is called FastEdge and it is peel & stick (not iron on). I think I'm going to use this to edge all my white cabinet boxes to prevent the problem of the white showing through the cracks. I think it will also give the cabinets a more high-end/custom look.

If you want to see a sample for yourself, call FastCap customer service (888-443-3748). They were really friendly and helpful and mailed me the samples for free. They also helped me find dealers in my area to buy from.

I was going to post today to see if you got them!

I emailed them at Fastcap and never received a reply.

Turns out I need this too.....the doors we cut down to fit my fridge haver rough edges on the bottom and my contractor was going to try and stain veneer himself.

Maybe we can just use what you bought. Where in NYC did you get it?

You don't have any extra sample do you? i'm on 103rd st and RSD.

FastCap referred me to Manhattan Laminates (212-255-2522) and Ever Ready Hardware (718-388-6240). I was going to call on Monday to see if either place carries the prefinished Teak in stock. If not, FastCap said that the stores could special order it for me from them. Unfortunately, FastCap does not sell directly to consumers.

I also found this online vendor that seems to have it:

bellowsproducts.com: Fastedge - PreFinished Teak

As for the sample, it's very small and I want to hang onto it until I find somewhere that carries the product. I'll keep you posted about the NYC stores (if you get in touch with them first, please let me know what you find out). Thanks!!

Re: Questions about Edge Banding

Make sure you buy a laminate trimmer and roller. Fastcap does make a nice one that I have been very happy with.

Thanks for the match on the NYB!
