As a leading manufacturer of flexible plastic edge banding in China, we have accumulated rich experience in the production and application of edge banding. When it comes to edge banding with curved flexible moldings, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure a professional-looking finish.

1. Choose the Right Flexible Molding

The first step is to choose the right flexible molding for your project. There are a variety of materials and profiles available, so it's important to select one that will complement the style of your furniture and meet your specific needs.

For curved edges, it's important to choose a flexible molding that can easily conform to the shape of the substrate. Look for moldings that are made from soft, pliable materials, such as PVC or rubber.

2. Prepare the Substrate

Before you apply the edge banding, it's important to prepare the substrate. This involves cleaning the surface to remove any dirt or debris, and then sanding it to create a smooth, even surface.

If the substrate is not properly prepared, the edge banding may not adhere properly and could eventually peel off.

3. Apply the Adhesive

Once the substrate is prepared, you can apply the adhesive. There are a variety of adhesives available, so it's important to choose one that is specifically designed for use with flexible moldings.

Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the molding, using a brush or roller. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the molding, but avoid applying too much adhesive, as this could lead to a messy finish.

4. Apply the Flexible Molding

Once the adhesive has been applied, you can apply the flexible molding to the substrate. Start by pressing the molding into place at one end, and then gradually work your way around the curve. Use your fingers or a roller to press the molding firmly into place, ensuring that it conforms to the shape of the substrate.

Be careful not to stretch the molding too much, as this could damage it. If you need to make any adjustments, simply peel back the molding and reapply it.

5. Trim the Excess Molding

Once the molding has been applied, you can trim the excess with a sharp knife or utility knife. Be sure to cut the molding at a 45-degree angle, so that it creates a clean, professional-looking finish.
