How to Remove Acrylic Edging Trim97

As a leading manufacturer of furniture edge banding in China, we are often asked about the best way to remove acrylic edging trim. This can be a tricky task, as acrylic is a strong and durable material. However, with the right tools and techniques, it is possible to remove acrylic edging trim without damaging the underlying surface.

Materials you will need:
Razor blade or utility knife
Heat gun or hair dryer
Pry bar or flathead screwdriver
Clean cloth
Rubbing alcohol or acetone

Instructions:
Soften the adhesive. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive that is holding the acrylic edging trim in place. Hold the heat source about 6 inches away from the trim and move it back and forth until the adhesive becomes soft and pliable.
Score the trim. Use a razor blade or utility knife to score the acrylic edging trim along the edge where it meets the underlying surface. This will help to weaken the adhesive and make it easier to remove.
Pry off the trim. Use a pry bar or flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the acrylic edging trim off of the underlying surface. Be careful not to damage the surface.
Clean up the surface. Once the acrylic edging trim has been removed, use a clean cloth to wipe away any remaining adhesive. If there is any residue left behind, you can use rubbing alcohol or acetone to remove it.

Tips:
If the acrylic edging trim is particularly stubborn, you may need to use a stronger heat source, such as a heat gun. However, be careful not to overheat the trim, as this could damage it.
If you are having difficulty prying off the acrylic edging trim, you can try using a thin putty knife to help loosen the adhesive.
Be careful not to scratch the underlying surface when removing the acrylic edging trim.

With a little patience and care, you can remove acrylic edging trim without damaging the underlying surface. Once the trim has been removed, you can replace it with new trim or leave the surface bare.
