How to Edge Band an Inside Curve63

Edge banding is a process of applying a thin strip of material to the exposed edges of a workpiece to provide a finished look and protect the edges from damage. When it comes to edge banding inside curves, there are a few additional challenges to overcome.

The first challenge is that the edge banding material needs to be able to conform to the curve without wrinkling or buckling. The second challenge is that the adhesive needs to be able to hold the edge banding in place securely, even on a curved surface.

There are a few different methods for edge banding inside curves. One method is to use a heat gun to soften the edge banding material and make it more pliable. Once the material is soft, it can be applied to the curve and pressed into place. Another method is to use a vacuum press to apply the edge banding material. The vacuum press will help to hold the material in place and prevent it from wrinkling or buckling.

Once the edge banding material is applied, it needs to be trimmed to the correct length. This can be done with a utility knife or a flush trim router. The final step is to sand the edge banding to smooth it out and make it flush with the surface of the workpiece.

Here are some tips for edge banding inside curves:
Use a thin edge banding material that is flexible and easy to conform to curves.
Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the edge of the workpiece and the edge banding material.
Use a heat gun or vacuum press to help the edge banding conform to the curve.
Trim the edge banding to the correct length and sand it smooth.

Edge banding inside curves can be a challenging task, but it is possible to achieve professional-looking results with a little practice.
