Chinese Furniture Edging Strip Joining Tutorial161

Introduction

As a leading manufacturer of edging strips in China, we understand the importance of seamless and durable edging for furniture. Proper joining techniques ensure a professional and aesthetically pleasing finish, enhancing the overall appearance and longevity of your furniture.

Materials and Tools

To begin, gather the following materials and tools:
Edging strips
Joining tape
Hot melt glue or contact adhesive
Iron or heat gun
Scissors

Step-by-Step Joining Instructions

1. Prepare the Edging Strips

Cut the edging strips to the desired length and angle using scissors. Ensure they fit snugly along the edge of the furniture.

2. Apply Joining Tape

Apply a thin layer of joining tape to the overlapping area of the edging strips. This tape helps create a strong and flexible bond.

3. Apply Adhesive

If using hot melt glue, apply a thin strip along the inside of one of the edging strips. Alternatively, if using contact adhesive, apply it to both surfaces that will be joined.

4. Joint the Edging Strips

Align the edging strips carefully and press them together. If using hot melt glue, apply pressure for a few seconds until the glue sets. For contact adhesive, allow the adhesive to dry for a few minutes before pressing the strips together.

5. Iron or Heat the Joint

Use an iron or heat gun to apply heat to the joint. This step activates the joining tape and strengthens the bond. Apply heat for a few seconds, moving the iron or heat gun along the joint.

6. Trim and Finish

Once the joint has cooled, trim any excess edging strip using scissors. Use a sanding block or fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the edges of the joint for a professional finish.

Tips:
Use a sharp blade to cut the edging strips for precise and clean edges.
Apply the joining tape slightly off-center to prevent the joint from appearing too bulky.
Allow the adhesive to fully set before applying heat to avoid weak joints.
Use a clean cloth to wipe away any excess glue or adhesive.
For curved edges, use a heat gun to soften the edging strip and bend it to the desired shape.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can achieve seamless and durable edging joints for your furniture. Proper joining techniques not only enhance the appearance of your creations but also ensure their longevity and durability.
