[With Step-by-Step Guide]: How to Apply High Gloss Edge Banding303

As a professional Chinese furniture edge banding strip manufacturer, we understand the importance of a seamless and aesthetically pleasing finish in furniture-making. High-gloss edge banding strips are a popular choice for their sleek and modern look, offering a reflective and shiny surface to your furniture pieces. To help you achieve impeccable results, we have compiled a comprehensive guide on how to apply high gloss edge banding with precision and ease.

Preparation:
Clean the edges of the furniture piece thoroughly, removing any dust, debris, or old adhesive residue.
Ensure that the edge is straight and even to provide a smooth surface for the banding.
Cut the high-gloss edge banding strips to the appropriate length, allowing for an overhang of about 1/8 inch on each side.
Activate the adhesive on the back of the banding by heating it with a heat gun or iron.

Application:
Align the activated edge banding strip carefully with the edge of the furniture piece.
Apply firm pressure along the length of the strip, using a roller or a straight block of wood.
Trim the overhanging edges of the banding flush with the surface of the furniture using a sharp utility knife.
Use a sanding block or sandpaper to lightly sand the edges of the banding, blending it seamlessly with the surface.
Clean any excess dust or adhesive residue using a soft cloth.

Tips:

Use a sharp utility knife for precise trimming to avoid chipping or tearing the banding.
Apply even pressure while rolling or pressing the banding to ensure a strong bond.
Work in a well-ventilated area as the adhesive may release fumes during application.
If the adhesive is not activated properly, it may not adhere effectively.
Use a scrap piece of banding to test the application process before working on the actual furniture piece.
