Conturo: Which PVC edge banding to pick?

[leftistelf]

I was given 10 sheets of Home Depot melamine to make into library bookcases.

No, I wouldn't have selected it, but that's what they gave me.

I'm looking to match it with a 2mm or 3mm PVC edge banding.

Anyone have suggestions on which edge banding / color I should get?

When you ask what color are you asking which white matches or what color you should contrast it with?

I'm asking which color matches, Tom.

To get an exact match, you need to know the manufacturer of the sheet and its color code.  I would go to Home Depot and ask them for this information but don't be surprised if you get the 'deer in the headlight' look.  That is why I do not purchase this type of material from any BORG. 

Assuming you can't get this info from HD, the most logical approach is to see if your edgebanding supplier has a color sample pack or card to help you find a match.

I have used both Rehau and Canplast PVC edgebanding with good results.
