How to Solve the Problem of Edge Banding Not Reaching the End83

As a professional edge banding strip manufacturer in China, we have encountered many customers who have encountered problems with edge banding not reaching the end. This can be a frustrating issue, especially if you have a large quantity of furniture to edge band. In this article, we will discuss the causes of this problem and provide solutions to help you solve it.

Causes of Edge Banding Not Reaching the End
Incorrectly sized edge banding: The edge banding strip should be the same width as the edge of the furniture. If the edge banding is too narrow, it will not reach the end of the edge.
Improperly applied adhesive: The adhesive should be applied evenly to the edge of the furniture and the edge banding strip. If the adhesive is not applied properly, the edge banding strip may not adhere properly and will not reach the end of the edge.
Insufficient pressure: The edge banding strip should be pressed firmly against the edge of the furniture. If insufficient pressure is applied, the edge banding strip may not adhere properly and will not reach the end of the edge.
Improperly trimmed edge banding: The edge banding strip should be trimmed flush with the edge of the furniture. If the edge banding is not trimmed properly, it may be too long and will not reach the end of the edge.

Solutions to Solve the Problem of Edge Banding Not Reaching the End
Use correctly sized edge banding: Measure the edge of the furniture and select edge banding strip that is the same width.
Apply adhesive properly: Apply the adhesive evenly to the edge of the furniture and the edge banding strip. Use a brush or roller to ensure that the adhesive is applied to all surfaces.
Apply sufficient pressure: Use a hand roller or press to press the edge banding strip firmly against the edge of the furniture. Apply even pressure along the entire length of the edge.
Trim edge banding properly: Use a sharp knife or utility blade to trim the edge banding strip flush with the edge of the furniture. Be careful not to cut into the furniture.

Additional Tips
Use a heat gun: A heat gun can be used to soften the edge banding strip, making it more pliable and easier to apply.
Use a backer board: A backer board can be placed behind the edge of the furniture to provide support and prevent the edge banding strip from buckling.
Use a finishing nail gun: A finishing nail gun can be used to secure the edge banding strip in place. This is especially useful for thicker edge banding strips.

ConclusionIf you are having problems with edge banding not reaching the end, follow the solutions outlined in this article. By using the correct size edge banding, applying the adhesive properly, applying sufficient pressure, and trimming the edge banding properly, you can ensure that your edge banding projects are successful.
