## Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to edgeband with aluminum edge banding:1. Prepare the Surface
* Clean the edge of the substrate to remove any dirt or debris.
* If the substrate is MDF or another porous material, apply a primer to seal the pores and prevent the contact cement from absorbing too quickly.
2. Apply Contact Cement
* Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement to both the edge of the substrate and the back of the aluminum edge banding.
* Allow the contact cement to dry for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes tacky.
3. Position the Edge Banding
* Align the aluminum edge banding with the edge of the substrate.
* Use masking tape to hold the edge banding in place, if necessary.
4. Press the Edge Banding
* Firmly press the aluminum edge banding onto the substrate.
* Use a soft cloth or sponge to apply even pressure along the entire length of the edge banding.
* Hold the pressure for 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.
5. Trim the Excess Edge Banding
* Once the contact cement has set, use an edge banding trimmer to trim away any excess edge banding.
* Trim the edge banding flush with the surface of the substrate.
## Tips
Here are a few tips for edgebanding with aluminum:* Use sharp blades in your edge banding trimmer to prevent tearing or chipping the aluminum.
* If you're working with a long piece of aluminum edge banding, use a helper to keep it straight and apply even pressure.
* Clean up any excess contact cement immediately with a soft cloth or sponge.
* Apply a clear finish to the edge banding to protect it from scratches and discoloration.
## Conclusion
