I am building a train layout for Christmas. The layout is circular, and is about 36" in diameter, made from 1/2" birch plywood.
I'd like to add some edging to it, with a bit of a lip to help prevent the train from falling to the floor when it gets bumped (it will be elevated).
The edging is 3/4" wide banding that's about 3/16" thick. I was planning on wrapping the edging around the inside and outside of the layout, gluing it, and fastening it with either 4mm dominos or 3/16" dowels. If I used the domino, I'd punch through the edging into the layout base.
Has anyone used the domino to fasten edging on something circular? Of the two methods, which would you recommend for ease of installation and aesthetics?
