Bid out a job that will have exposed edge slab doors and exposed edge casework. What is the best way to get those edges with some kind of finish on them. Is there clear edgebanding I can get on them? Stack them and spray the sides?

I have never used clear edgebanding but I know it's out there because I get Baltic Birch plywood drawer side blanks with clear banding on one edge.

Stacking and spraying the sides is an option unless the plywood is warped which is likely. What is the finish on the faces?

The doors are this funky hand finished ply. It is a green color. Never seen it before. It runs 250 per sheet. It is for an architect in L.A. It is a very funky design.

I've used prefinished maple iron on wood tape. Outwater Plastics also has a bunch plastic t molds and edgebanding.

The good news is Dolken makes it.
The bad news is it comes only 1 5/16 x .20 (2 mil)and minimum order is 15,000 feet. Check with your local Dolken suppliers if they may have some but I wouldn't expect miracles. Maybe Dolken can let you know a recent customer and you can get them to send you a couple hundred feet.
