How can I repair white laminate cabinets where the edges are peeling?

The overall look of my white cabinets looks good. Still shiny and no stains. But on the drawers and cabinets that are used the most the edges )not the fronts_ are cracked and slightly peeling. I would like to fix them before they get worse and go down the fronts! Any ideas of a glue or repair that would be effective?

Rosie...could you sand the edges lightly and repaint?
Wood glue and use clamps with sawdust. May take two times. Then sand and paint the cabinets. I used three coats of liquid plastic......but they don't sell it anymore. So the purpose kitchen
cupboard paint works well.....but take the cabinets off....lightly sand if they are wood....and then paint 3 layers ....thin....sand in between.
if they are midfield like mine.....I removed all the plastic.....sanded
my 33 cabinets for 10 hours till I got all the glue off and then did the three coats of paint. Only had to do the cabinets under my sink 5 years later.
You can fill the cracks with epoxy. When it dries paint to match.
Hello-
Is it just the flat outside edge of the-interior surfaces that’s damaged? I ask this because you can buy replacements edging- I’ve replaced that. You apply with an warm iron. Very inexpensive and easy. I hope this helps.
