Steps 5 - 8

5. Let the glue set for about 30 minutes until it’s rubbery and starts to change color. Scrape off the partially hardened glue with a putty knife.

6. Moisten the surface with a damp rag to reveal dried glue smudges. Scrape them off while they’re wet. Let the glue set another hour.

7. Scribble a pencil line along the length of the plywood, overlapping it onto the nosing. Carefully sand the nosing with a belt sander and 120-grit belt until the pencil line disappears and the nosing is flush to the plywood.

8. Clamp the shelf to the workbench and shape the edge of the nosing with a router and shaping bit.
