Admittedly paper towels 😅. If I were to do it over again I think I would test some kind of putty/spackle to see if it would work

Hi Jane! There is a picture of the side profile (it is zoomed in, it’s the 2nd photo under the section “mistake #2: Vinyl contact paper”) Because the vinyl planks are thicker (compared to the contact paper), there is not much wiggle room to wrap it beyond the drawer. I stuck mine right on top of the contact paper because I didn’t see a need to remove it, although you do not need to add contact paper to your project. Depending on the filing cabinet your working with, if the drawers sit a little inward, you won’t even notice the planks when the drawers are shut because at that point it would be flush with the frame of the cabinet. You will however notice the edges once you open the drawers. Might not be for everyone so do what you think is best! Hope this helps 🙂
