Materials Required
Edging band
Edging machine
Trimmer
Sandpaper (fine and medium grit)
Edge banding adhesive
Applicator brush or roller

Step 1: Prepare the Furniture Panel

Ensure that the edges of the furniture panel are clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris. If the edges are rough or uneven, sand them lightly to create a smooth surface for the edging band.

Step 2: Apply Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of edge banding adhesive to the edge of the panel using an applicator brush or roller. Allow the adhesive to dry for the manufacturer's recommended time to develop tack.

Step 3: Cut and Insert Edging Band

Measure and cut the edging band to the desired length. Insert the cut edging band into the edge banding machine and adjust the settings for the thickness of the panel and the width of the band.

Step 4: Activate the Edging Band

Start the edging machine and pass the panel through with the adhesive side of the edge facing the panel. The machine will apply heat and pressure to activate the adhesive and bond the band securely to the panel.

Step 5: Trim Excess Banding

After the edging band has cooled, use a trimmer to remove any excess material that overhangs the edge of the panel. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the surface of the band or the panel.

Step 6: Sand the Edges

For a smooth and polished finish, sand the edges of the banded panel lightly using fine-grit sandpaper. This step removes any small burrs or unevenness created during the trimming process.

Step 7: Final Inspection

Inspect the finished edge banding for any defects, such as gaps, bubbles, or misalignment. If any issues are found, sand the area and reapply the edge banding as necessary.

Tips for Success
Use sharp cutting tools to ensure clean and precise cuts.
Calibrate the edging machine accurately to prevent over- or under-banding.
Apply pressure evenly during the edging process to ensure a strong bond.
Allow the adhesive to cure completely before handling the panel to prevent premature separation.
Test different edge banding adhesives before committing to a specific product.

By following these steps carefully, you can successfully install edge banding on panel furniture, creating a durable, visually appealing, and functional finished product.
