Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the edging strips. Before you begin edge banding, you need to prepare the edging strips. This involves cutting them to the desired length and width. You can use a miter saw or a table saw to cut the edging strips. Once the edging strips are cut, you need to sand the edges to remove any burrs or splinters.

2. Apply hot melt glue to the edge of the substrate. Once the edging strips are prepared, you can begin edge banding. The first step is to apply hot melt glue to the edge of the substrate. You can use a glue gun or a hot melt glue pot to apply the glue. Make sure to apply the glue evenly to the entire edge of the substrate.

3. Place the edging strip on the substrate. Once the glue is applied, you can place the edging strip on the substrate. Make sure to align the edging strip carefully so that it is flush with the edge of the substrate. Once the edging strip is in place, you can press it down firmly to ensure that it adheres to the substrate.

4. Trim the excess edging strip. Once the edging strip is adhered to the substrate, you can trim the excess edging strip. You can use a trimmer or a utility knife to trim the excess edging strip. Make sure to trim the edging strip flush with the edge of the substrate.

5. Sand the edge banding. Once the excess edging strip is trimmed, you can sand the edge banding. This will help to smooth out the edge banding and make it look more finished. You can use a hand sander or a power sander to sand the edge banding.

Tips for Edge Banding Vintage Small Edging Strips
Use a sharp blade on your trimmer or utility knife. A dull blade can tear or damage the edging strip.
Be careful not to apply too much hot melt glue. Too much glue can squeeze out from under the edging strip and make it look messy.
If you are edge banding a curved surface, use a heat gun to soften the edging strip. This will make it easier to bend the edging strip around the curve.
Once the edge banding is complete, you can apply a clear finish to protect it. This will help to prevent the edge banding from getting damaged.
