Step 1: Materials and Preparation

Gather the necessary materials: edge banding, contact cement, a utility knife, a smoothing tool, and a glue spreader. Cut the edge banding to the desired length and prepare the surfaces of both the edge banding and the furniture piece by cleaning and sanding them.

Step 2: Applying Contact Cement

Apply a thin, even layer of contact cement to both the edge of the furniture piece and the back of the edge banding. Allow the cement to dry to the touch, typically for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3: Aligning and Pressing

Carefully align the edge banding with the edge of the furniture piece and press firmly to bond them together. Use a smoothing tool, such as a J-roller or a soft cloth, to apply even pressure along the length of the edge banding.

Step 4: Trimming and Sanding

Once the glue has set, use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess edge banding. Then, lightly sand the trimmed edge to smooth out any rough edges and create a seamless finish.

Tips for a Successful Manual Edge Banding Project:

Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are clean and free of dust or debris.*

Apply the contact cement evenly and allow it to dry sufficiently before bonding.*
