As a Chinese manufacturer of furniture edging strips, we have extensive experience in the use of granule glue for this application. Granule glue, also known as hot melt glue, is a commonly used adhesive for bonding edging strips to furniture panels. It offers several advantages, including:
Fast and efficient application
Strong and durable bond
Cost-effectiveness
Versatility in bonding various materials

In this comprehensive guide, we will provide detailed instructions on how to use granule glue for furniture edging. By following these steps, you can achieve professional-looking and long-lasting results.

Materials Required:
Granule glue
Edging strip
Substrate panel
Glue spreader
Edge bander or manual edge banding machine
Trimmer or utility knife
Sandpaper or sanding block

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the substrate panel and edging strip are clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. This will help ensure a strong bond between the two surfaces.

2. Apply the Granule Glue: Using the glue spreader, evenly apply the granule glue to the surface of the substrate panel where the edging strip will be applied. The glue should be applied in a thin and uniform layer.

3. Position the Edging Strip: Carefully place the edging strip over the glued surface and align it accurately. Press the edging strip firmly into place to ensure good contact between the two surfaces.

4. Activate the Glue: Use the edge bander or manual edge banding machine to heat the glue and activate the bonding process. The machine should be set to the appropriate temperature recommended by the glue manufacturer.

5. Trim the Excess Edging: Once the glue has cooled, use a trimmer or utility knife to trim off any excess edging that extends beyond the edge of the substrate panel.

6. Sand and Finish: Use sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth the edges of the edging strip and remove any splinters or burrs. You may also apply additional finishing touches, such as staining or painting, to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the furniture piece.

Tips for Best Results:
Use a high-quality granule glue specifically designed for furniture edging applications.
Maintain a consistent and even glue application to ensure optimal bonding.
Allow the glue to activate fully before trimming or sanding to prevent edge lifting.
Use proper safety precautions when handling hot glue and machinery.
Test the glue and bonding process on a scrap piece of material before applying it to the actual furniture piece.

By following these comprehensive instructions, you can effectively use granule glue for furniture edging and achieve professional-quality results. This versatile adhesive provides a strong and durable bond, enhancing the durability and aesthetics of your furniture creations.
