Step-by-Step Installation Guide (using PVC edge banding as an example):
Preparation: Clean the cabinet edges thoroughly, ensuring they are free from dust, debris, and any previous finish. [Image Link: Showing a clean cabinet edge ready for banding application. This would be a link to an image on our company website or a similar image hosting service].
Applying the Edge Banding: Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the cabinet edge (if using adhesive banding) or use an iron to melt the adhesive on the back of the banding (if using iron-on banding). Carefully apply the banding, ensuring it's aligned and pressed firmly against the edge.

Trimming the Excess: Once the adhesive has set, use the edge banding trimmer to remove the excess banding, creating a clean, flush edge.

Scraping and Sanding: Use a scraper to remove any remaining adhesive or irregularities. Sand the edge smoothly using progressively finer grits of sandpaper to achieve a flawless finish.

Finishing Touches: Apply a suitable sealant or finish to protect the edge banding and enhance its durability. [Image Link: showing a finished cabinet with perfectly installed edge banding. This would be a link to an image on our company website or a similar image hosting service].

Troubleshooting Common Issues:
Uneven Application: Ensure the adhesive is evenly distributed and the banding is pressed firmly. Use clamps if necessary.
Air Bubbles: Press out any air bubbles during application to prevent them from showing through the finished product.
Lifting or Peeling: Ensure proper adhesion and allow sufficient drying time. If the banding lifts, use more adhesive and press it firmly back into place.
Uneven Trimming: Use a sharp edge banding trimmer and practice consistent pressure for even trimming.
