Preparing the Surface and Edge Band

Applying the Edge Banding

1. Align the edge banding with the edge of the surface and press it into place, starting from the center and working your way outwards.
2. Use a rubber mallet or a rolling pin to apply even pressure and create a secure bond.
3. Trim the excess edge banding flush with the surface using an edge banding trimmer.

Smoothing and Finishing

Advanced Techniques

For curved surfaces or intricate designs, you can use a heat gun to soften the edge banding and make it more pliable. This allows for easier contouring and a seamless finish.

Additional Tips

1. Use a sharp blade to cut the edge banding cleanly and avoid tearing.
2. Test the hot melt adhesive on a small area first to ensure proper adhesion.
3. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris.
