As a leading manufacturer of edge banding strips in China, we understand the importance of proper installation to ensure the longevity and aesthetics of your furniture. Metal edge banding, in particular, offers exceptional durability and a modern, sophisticated look. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to install metal edge banding:
Materials and Tools Required* Metal edge banding strip
* Contact adhesive
* Trimming knife
* Router with a flush trim bit
* Sandpaper or sanding block
* Clean cloths
Step 1: Prepare the Furniture Edge* Ensure the edge of the furniture piece is clean, dry, and free of debris.
* Use sandpaper or a sanding block to lightly sand the edge to remove any imperfections or splinters.
Step 2: Apply Contact Adhesive* Apply a thin, even layer of contact adhesive to both the furniture edge and the metal edge banding strip.
* Allow the adhesive to become tacky before proceeding.
Step 3: Align and Apply the Edge Banding* Carefully align the metal edge banding strip with the edge of the furniture, ensuring a perfect fit.
* Press the edge banding firmly into place, using a clean cloth to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles.
Step 4: Remove Excess Adhesive* Wipe away any excess adhesive that may have squeezed out using a clean cloth.
* Use a cotton swab or toothpick to remove adhesive from intricate areas.
Step 5: Trim the Excess Edge Banding* Allow the adhesive to dry for several minutes before trimming the excess edge banding.
* Use a router with a flush trim bit to carefully trim the banding flush with the surface of the furniture.
* For curved edges, manually trim the excess using a trimming knife.
Step 6: Sand and Finish* Sand the trimmed edge to remove any rough edges or splinters.
* For a professional finish, apply a clear coat or furniture polish to the metal edge banding for added protection and shine.
Tips for Installing Metal Edge Banding* Use a sharp trimming knife to prevent chipping or tearing the metal edge banding.
* Ensure the room temperature is above 65°F (18°C). Cold temperatures can affect the adhesive's bonding properties.
* Apply even pressure when pressing the edge banding into place to avoid gaps or uneven adhesion.
* Allow sufficient drying time for the adhesive before trimming the excess. This ensures a strong and long-lasting bond.
* Protect the metal edge banding from scratches or damage by using a soft cloth when cleaning or handling.
