I am replacing a table top with a nice piece of cabinet grade plywood. It
is a
piece 2'x4'. I want to cover the edges of the plywood with veneer edging.
It
says to use an iron to apply it. Should I start on one corner of the side
or in
the middle of one side?

Doesn't make much difference in my opinion. Whichever way is easiest to
apply the whole strip is good as far as I'm concerned.

One thing I do prefer however is the type of veneer stripping. I've used
both the iron on type and the use your own white glue type. I believe the
use your own glue type holds better. It takes longer to install and having
some edge clamps makes the work go a lot faster. However, the iron on type
is easier to use. Both types work well and hold fine.
