Wood Veneer Edge Banding On-Site Edge Banding Specification292

1. Scope

This specification outlines the requirements for on-site edge banding of wood veneer to wood substrates. It covers the preparation of the substrate, application of the edge banding, trimming, and finishing.

2. Materials

2.1 Wood Veneer Edge Banding
- Type: Choose edge banding that matches the species and finish of the substrate.
- Thickness: Select the thickness appropriate for the substrate and desired edge profile.
- Adhesive: Use a hot-melt or contact adhesive specifically designed for wood veneer edge banding.

2.2 Substrate Preparation
- Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or other contaminants.
- Sand the substrate's edges to provide a smooth, even surface for bonding.

3. Edge Banding Application

3.1 Hot-Melt Adhesive
- Apply a thin, even layer of hot-melt adhesive to the substrate's edge.
- Position the edge banding over the adhesive and press firmly into place.
- Use a heat gun or iron to activate the adhesive and bond the edge banding.

3.2 Contact Adhesive
- Apply a thin coat of contact adhesive to both the substrate's edge and the edge banding.
- Allow the adhesive to dry until tacky.
- Position the edge banding over the substrate's edge and press firmly into place.

4. Trimming and Finishing

4.1 Trimming
- Use a flush trim bit or hand-held router to trim the excess edge banding flush with the substrate's surface.
- Ensure the trim is smooth and clean without any splintering or tearing.

4.2 Finishing
- Sand the trimmed edge banding to ensure a smooth, even finish.
- Apply a protective finish such as lacquer or varnish to protect the edge banding from moisture and wear.

5. Quality Control

5.1 Inspection
- Inspect the completed edge banding for any defects, such as gaps, bubbles, or uneven edges.
- Check the bonding strength by attempting to pull the edge banding away from the substrate.

5.2 Acceptance Criteria
- The edge banding should be securely bonded to the substrate with no visible defects.
- The edge banding should have a smooth, even finish that matches the substrate's surface.

6. Additional Notes

6.1 Safety
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask.
- Handle the adhesive and edge banding with care to avoid burns or cuts.

6.2 Environmental Considerations
- Dispose of the edge banding scraps and adhesive in accordance with local environmental regulations.
