How to Clean Edge Banding Glue105

Edge banding glue is a type of adhesive used to bond edge banding to the edges of wood panels. It is a strong and durable adhesive, but it can be difficult to remove once it has cured. If you need to remove edge banding glue, there are a few different methods you can use.

Method 1: Heat

Heat can be used to soften edge banding glue, making it easier to remove. To use this method, you will need a heat gun or a hair dryer.
1. Hold the heat gun or hair dryer about 6 inches away from the edge banding.
2. Move the heat gun or hair dryer back and forth along the edge banding until the glue begins to soften.
3. Once the glue has softened, use a putty knife or a scraper to remove the edge banding.

Method 2: Chemicals

There are a number of different chemicals that can be used to remove edge banding glue. Some of the most common include acetone, denatured alcohol, and mineral spirits.
1. Apply the chemical to a cloth or a paper towel.
2. Rub the cloth or paper towel over the edge banding until the glue begins to dissolve.
3. Once the glue has dissolved, use a putty knife or a scraper to remove the edge banding.

Method 3: Mechanical

If the heat or chemical methods do not work, you can try using a mechanical method to remove the edge banding glue. This method involves using a sander or a grinder to remove the glue.
1. Wear a dust mask and safety glasses when using a sander or a grinder.
2. Set the sander or grinder to a low speed.
3. Sand or grind the edge banding until the glue is removed.

Tips

Here are a few tips for removing edge banding glue:
* Always test the chemical or mechanical method on a small area first to make sure it does not damage the wood panel.
* Be careful not to apply too much heat, as this can damage the wood panel.
* Wear gloves when using chemicals, as they can irritate the skin.
* Clean up any spills immediately to prevent damage to the wood panel.
