Materials and Equipment

Before you begin, ensure you have the following materials and equipment:
Moto thin edge banding
Substrate (e.g., wood, MDF, particleboard)
Hot air edgebander or iron
Trimmer or utility knife
Sandpaper or sanding block (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Substrate

To ensure proper adhesion, the substrate should be clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Sand the edges of the substrate lightly to create a smooth surface for the edge banding to adhere to.

Step 2: Apply Glue

Apply a thin layer of wood glue or hot melt adhesive to the edge of the substrate. Use a brush or roller to ensure even coverage. Allow the glue to dry slightly, until it becomes tacky to the touch.

Step 3: Attach the Edge Banding

Align the Moto thin edge banding with the edge of the substrate and press it firmly into place. Use a hot air edgebander or an iron set to the appropriate temperature to soften the adhesive and bond the edge banding to the substrate. Apply even pressure along the entire length of the edge.

Step 4: Trim Excess Edge Banding

Once the edge banding is bonded, use a trimmer or utility knife to trim off any excess material. Hold the trimmer at a slight angle to create a beveled edge that will blend seamlessly with the substrate.

Step 5: Sand the Edges (Optional)

For a smoother finish, use sandpaper or a sanding block to lightly sand the edges of the edge banding. This will remove any sharp edges and create a uniform surface.

Tips for Effective Edge Banding
Always test the adhesive and settings on a scrap piece before applying to the actual workpiece.
Use a sharp blade on the trimmer or utility knife to ensure clean cuts.
Apply enough pressure during the bonding process to ensure a secure and lasting bond.
Allow the edge banding to cool completely before sanding or further processing.
For best results, use an edgebander specifically designed for thin edge banding.
