How to Glue Edging Tape with Rounded Edges85

As a Chinese furniture edging tape factory, we have extensive experience in applying edging tape to furniture and other wood surfaces. When it comes to rounded edges, there are a few specific steps you need to follow to ensure a strong and durable bond.

Preparing the Edging Tape

Before applying the edging tape, you need to prepare it by rounding the edges. This can be done using a router or a sanding block. If you're using a router, be sure to use a bit that is slightly smaller than the radius of the edge you're rounding. If you're using a sanding block, start with a coarse grit sandpaper and gradually move to a finer grit until you've achieved the desired roundness.

Applying the Glue

Once the edging tape is rounded, you need to apply glue to the back of it. You can use either contact cement or wood glue. If you're using contact cement, be sure to apply it evenly to both the edging tape and the surface of the furniture. If you're using wood glue, you can apply it directly to the back of the edging tape.

Positioning the Edging Tape

Once the glue has been applied, you need to position the edging tape on the furniture. Start by aligning the edge of the tape with the edge of the furniture. Then, press down on the tape to secure it. Be sure to apply even pressure along the entire length of the tape.

Trimming the Edging Tape

Once the edging tape is in place, you need to trim it so that it's flush with the surface of the furniture. You can use a utility knife or a sharp chisel to do this. Be careful not to cut into the surface of the furniture.

Sanding the Edging Tape

Once the edging tape has been trimmed, you need to sand it so that it's smooth and flush with the surface of the furniture. You can use a sanding block or a random orbital sander to do this. Start with a coarse grit sandpaper and gradually move to a finer grit until you've achieved the desired smoothness.

Finishing Touches

Once the edging tape has been sanded, you can add any finishing touches you desire. You can apply a stain or paint to match the color of the furniture. You can also apply a clear finish to protect the edging tape from wear and tear.
