How to Fix Peeling Veneer Edge Banding107

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we understand the importance of having a well-finished product. Peeling veneer edge banding can be a common issue, but it can be easily fixed with the right steps.

Causes of Peeling Veneer Edge Banding:
Insufficient adhesive application
Incorrect adhesive type
Inadequate bonding pressure
Improper surface preparation
Excessive heat or moisture exposure

Steps to Fix Peeling Veneer Edge Banding:1. Remove the Peeling Veneer:
* Use a sharp utility knife to carefully cut away the peeling veneer.
* Be cautious not to damage the underlying substrate.
2. Clean the Surface:
* Remove any remaining adhesive residue or dirt from the exposed surface.
* Use a clean cloth dampened with a mild solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol.
3. Apply New Adhesive:
* Select an adhesive specifically designed for edge banding, such as contact cement or hot melt adhesive.
* Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to both the exposed surface and the back of the new veneer.
4. Position the New Veneer:
* Carefully align the new veneer with the edge of the substrate.
* Press it into place firmly using a roller or clamp.
5. Apply Bonding Pressure:
* Use a weighted clamp or press to apply pressure to the veneer.
* Maintain the pressure for at least 30 minutes, or as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
6. Trim the Excess Veneer:
* Once the adhesive has set, use a sharp utility knife to trim away any excess veneer that extends beyond the edge of the substrate.
7. Sand and Finish:
* Sand the edge lightly to smooth the transition between the veneer and the substrate.
* Apply a suitable finish, such as lacquer or polyurethane, to protect the veneer and enhance its appearance.
Tips for Preventing Peeling Veneer Edge Banding:
Use high-quality edge banding with a durable veneer.
Ensure the substrate surface is clean and free of contaminants.
Apply the adhesive evenly and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Use sufficient bonding pressure to create a strong bond.
Avoid excessive heat or moisture exposure that can weaken the adhesive.
