Bill, There is also a thin, almost veneer, birch stripping that comes in rolls of various width. It has glue on it you put it on the edge and run a hot cloths iron over it which melts the glue. After it sets the excess is cut off with a utility knife, razor blade or sanded. It actually works pretty slick. I would use the one inch for the 3/4 plywood. . Almost a must if the plywood is birch.
