How to Install Wood Edge Banding Trim66

Wood edge banding trim is a thin strip of wood that is applied to the edges of plywood or other wood panels to give them a finished look. It is available in a variety of wood species and finishes, so you can choose the one that best matches your project. Edge banding trim can be installed using a variety of methods, but the most common method is to use a hot melt adhesive.

Materials* Wood edge banding trim
* Hot melt adhesive
* Iron or edge bander machine
* Trim cutter or utility knife
* Sandpaper or sanding block

Instructions1. Prepare the wood surface. The surface of the wood should be clean and free of any dirt or debris. If the surface is not clean, the adhesive will not adhere properly. You can clean the surface with a damp cloth or with a vacuum cleaner.
2. Apply the adhesive to the wood. The adhesive should be applied to the back of the edge banding trim. You can use a hot melt adhesive gun or a brush to apply the adhesive. If you are using a hot melt adhesive gun, be sure to use a low-temperature setting to avoid damaging the wood.
3. Press the edge banding trim into place. Once the adhesive has been applied, you can press the edge banding trim into place. You can use your fingers or a roller to press the trim into place. Be sure to apply even pressure along the entire length of the trim.
4. Trim the excess edge banding. Once the edge banding trim has been pressed into place, you can trim the excess trim. You can use a trim cutter or a utility knife to trim the trim. Be sure to cut the trim flush with the edge of the wood.
5. Sand the edge banding. Once the trim has been trimmed, you can sand it to smooth the edges. You can use a sandpaper or sanding block to sand the trim. Be sure to sand the trim lightly so that you do not damage the wood.

Tips* If you are using a hot melt adhesive, be sure to test the adhesive on a scrap piece of wood first to make sure that it does not damage the wood.
* If you are having trouble getting the edge banding trim to stick, you can try using a tack cloth to remove any dust or debris from the surface of the wood.
* You can also use a roller to press the edge banding trim into place. This will help to ensure that the trim is applied evenly and that there are no air bubbles.
* If you are using a trim cutter to trim the excess edge banding, be sure to use a sharp blade. This will help to prevent the trim from tearing or chipping.
* You can also use a sanding block to sand the edge banding. This will help to smooth the edges of the trim and make it look more finished.
