Trim the excess veneer which overlaps the cabinet opening with a utility knife; and then run the knife along the inner edge of the frame, to guide you. Trim both the top and bottom; then the outer edges. Use a straightedge as a guide when trimming the joint between the two cabinets. Make sure to change the knife? blade, often, or the edges will be ragged. Finally, cover the rails, remove the veneer trimming and hang the doors. Finally, attach all knobs and pulls, and then finish the drawers, painting where necessary.
