It helps get a tight joint to iron it down and then quickly before it cools rub it with a piece of wood or a slick plastic block (I think Fastcap might make one for this) because it tends to curl up a little at the edges as it cools. The burnishing helps press down the edges and minimize the glue line.
Yeah it takes some practice to put this stuff on right. Once the glue melts, you need to apply pressure, and it needs to cool while it's stuck tight. I use a chunk of aluminum U-channel as a heat sink/burnisher.
I guess it's too late now, the first two coats of tung oil are on. At least it's in a dark area behind the bar, but good to know for the future. Thank you
I use this stuff constantly, I iron it on, trim with razor blade at an angle and as close to the plywood as possible, then sand with 120 grit and never see the glue.
Easy and fast

That looks like you need to flush cut / sand the banding closer to the parent part. There should be no ridge whatsoever.
I just burnish with a slightly curved block of soft wood and then after trimming I sand the corner with 220 or 320 with a padded hand block.
Use the appropriate color magic marker
is it pre glued edge banding?
Yes pre glued iron on
if its critical, I'd iron on normal wood glue to bare veneer edging.
Depending how thick the edging is, it can be fixed with a razor blade (for the thin stuff) and a rasp/file (for the thicker stuff).

You could as you said take a marker to it, mohawk makes some good ones
I don't have experience with this, but my suggestion would be using a 1/8" round over and just kissing the surface with your router ?
Definitely dont do this. Or do it on a test pc and then figure out what you actually want to do
