Following up on an earlier post: Does your thick wood edge banding look like this with clearly visible layers? It's 1.5 white oak from Edgemate. Too thick for the Conturo, I think, so I want to get 1mm. Is the joint between the layers always so clearly visible?

Thanks!

This is something that is happening in the last 20 years.  There may be some vendors that are not laminating, but they will have a hard time competing.

I do recall non-laminated, edgebanding.  The finger joints were not reliable.  But for flat surfaces it would work.  I did a google search  and there does not appear to be any vendors around selling that anymore.

You can find 1/8" thick boards and rip them to width and attach with glue.  It is difficult to find in longer lengths, but 3 foot and 4 foot boards are available. 

Years ago I  applied wood glue to trim and allowed it to dry and then applied it with an iron.  It worked fine.  But I don't remember what type of glue I used. 

I run the same 1.5mm edge band from Edgemate through my Conturo all the time. No issues.
