Step 1: Preparation

Before you begin edging the wardrobe, it is essential to prepare the materials and ensure they are ready for application. Firstly, measure the length of each edge that needs to be edged and cut the edging strips accordingly. Clean the edges of the wardrobe panels to remove any dust or debris that could interfere with the adhesive bond.

Step 2: Applying Adhesive

Apply a thin layer of adhesive glue to the edge of the wardrobe panel where the edging strip will be placed. Use a brush or a small roller to evenly distribute the glue, ensuring complete coverage. Allow the glue to become slightly tacky before applying the edging strip.

Step 3: Applying the Edging Strip

Align the edging strip with the edge of the wardrobe panel and press it firmly into place. Use a rubber mallet or a roller to apply pressure along the entire length of the edging strip, ensuring a secure bond. Trim any excess edging strip that extends beyond the edges of the panel using a sharp knife or a trimmer.

Step 4: Trimming and Sanding

Once the edging strip is applied, use a trimmer to remove any excess material that may have accumulated during the application process. Be careful not to damage the edging strip or the wardrobe panel. Sand the edges of the edging strip lightly using fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges and create a seamless finish.

Step 5: Finishing

If desired, you can apply a thin layer of clear lacquer or varnish to the edging strip to protect it from wear and tear. This will enhance the durability and longevity of the edge banding. Allow the lacquer or varnish to dry completely before using the wardrobe.

Tips for Success:
Use high-quality edging strips made from durable materials such as PVC or ABS.
Ensure that the edges of the wardrobe panels are clean and free of dust or debris before applying the edging strips.
Apply the adhesive glue evenly and allow it to become slightly tacky before applying the edging strip.
Use a rubber mallet or a roller to apply pressure along the entire length of the edging strip, ensuring a secure bond.
Trim and sand the edges of the edging strip carefully to create a seamless finish.
Apply a thin layer of clear lacquer or varnish to protect the edging strip from wear and tear.

By following these steps and tips, you can achieve a professional and long-lasting edge banding for your wardrobe. Our high-quality edging strips, coupled with proper application techniques, will enhance the aesthetics and durability of your furniture.
