How to Edge Band Double-Sided Veneer332

Double-sided veneer edge banding is a popular method for creating a finished edge on wood products. It is a relatively simple process that can be completed with a few basic tools. Here are the steps on how to edge band double-sided veneer:

Materials You'll Need:* Double-sided veneer edge banding
* Contact cement
* Edge banding trimmer
* Flush trim bit
* Sandpaper or sanding block

Step 1: Prepare the Surface* Clean the surface of the wood product where you will be applying the edge banding. Remove any dust or debris.
* Apply a thin coat of contact cement to the edge of the wood product. Allow the contact cement to dry for a few minutes, until it becomes tacky.

Step 2: Apply the Edge Banding* Cut a piece of double-sided veneer edge banding to the length of the edge you are covering.
* Apply a thin coat of contact cement to the back of the edge banding.
* Align the edge banding with the edge of the wood product and press it into place.
* Use a roller or a J-roller to apply pressure and ensure that the edge banding is securely adhered.

Step 3: Trim the Edge Banding* Once the edge banding is applied, use an edge banding trimmer to trim off the excess.
* Set the trimmer to the desired overhang.
* Run the trimmer along the edge of the wood product to trim off the excess edge banding.

Step 4: Flush Trim the Edge Banding* Next, use a flush trim bit to flush trim the edge banding.
* Set the flush trim bit to the same height as the surface of the wood product.
* Run the flush trim bit along the edge of the wood product to trim off any remaining overhang.

Step 5: Sand the Edge Banding* Finally, sand the edge banding to smooth out any rough edges.
* Use sandpaper or a sanding block to sand the edge banding until it is flush with the surface of the wood product.

Tips:* Use a sharp blade on your edge banding trimmer and flush trim bit. This will help to create a clean, precise cut.
* Apply the contact cement evenly to both the edge of the wood product and the back of the edge banding. This will help to ensure a strong bond.
* Allow the contact cement to dry for a few minutes before applying the edge banding. This will help to prevent the edge banding from sliding around.
* Use a roller or a J-roller to apply pressure when adhering the edge banding. This will help to ensure that the edge banding is securely adhered.
* Be careful not to over-trim the edge banding. If you trim too much, you may expose the core of the edge banding.
