A while back I bought a PC biscuit jointer and have just gotten an
excuse to use it. *I broke it out today, planning to add an Ash edge
some plywood for a cabinet I'm making and have run into some
questions:


You don't need biscuits for edging. Just glue & clamping with a strip
of masking tape every 3-4 inches has worked really well for me. & it
is more accurate than biscuits.


Masking tape? *What does that do?


Think of a 3/4" by 3/4" edging. I glue it to the edge of the plywood.
I use masking tape to hold it in place until the glue dries instead of
clamps or biscuits (or brads if you're a genuine Normite).

I put an 8" or so strip of masking tape on one side of the plywood
(perpendicular to the edge), pull it tight and stick it around the
edging to the other side of the plywood. This is my clamp. Like I
said, a strip every six inches, and Bob's your uncle.
