Edge Banding Pull Strip Tutorial120

As a leading Chinese furniture edge banding strip manufacturer, we understand the importance of proper edge banding techniques to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. One essential aspect of edge banding is the application of pull strips, which are used to remove excess glue and create a clean, seamless joint. In this comprehensive tutorial, we will guide you through the process of applying pull strips to your edge banding projects step-by-step.

Materials Required:* Edge banding strip
* Edge banding adhesive
* Pull strips
* Scissors
* Utility knife
* Pencil or marking tool

Step 1: Prepare the Edge* Before applying the edge banding, ensure that the edge of the workpiece is clean, dry, and free of any debris.
* Use a pencil or marking tool to draw a straight line along the edge where the banding will be applied.

Step 2: Apply Edge Banding Adhesive* Apply a thin, even layer of edge banding adhesive to the edge of the workpiece, following the marked line.
* Allow the adhesive to tack slightly, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Position the Edge Banding* Align the edge banding with the marked line and carefully press it onto the edge of the workpiece.
* Use a utility knife to trim any excess banding that extends beyond the edges.

Step 4: Apply Pull Strips* Cut pull strips to the appropriate length, ensuring they are slightly shorter than the edge banding.
* Place the pull strips over the edge banding, aligning them at the edges of the workpiece.
* Press down on the pull strips to ensure they adhere firmly to the edge banding.

Step 5: Ironing the Pull Strips* To bond the pull strips securely, use an iron to press them onto the edge banding.
* Set the iron to a low heat setting and apply even pressure across the entire length of the pull strips.
* Hold the iron for a few seconds at each spot, moving it along the pull strip.

Step 6: Removing the Pull Strips* Once the pull strips have cooled, carefully peel them away from the edge banding.
* The pull strips should remove any excess glue that may have seeped out during the ironing process.

Step 7: Cleaning and Finishing* Use a damp cloth to wipe away any remaining glue residue or debris from the edge banding.
* Allow the edge banding to dry completely before applying any finishing touches, such as sanding or staining.

Tips for Successful Edge Banding with Pull Strips:* Use high-quality edge banding strips and adhesives for optimal results.
* Apply the adhesive evenly and allow it to tack slightly before applying the edge banding.
* Align the edge banding precisely and trim any excess before applying pull strips.
* Press the pull strips firmly onto the edge banding and iron them evenly to ensure a strong bond.
* Remove the pull strips carefully to avoid damaging the edge banding.
* Clean the edge banding thoroughly after removing the pull strips to achieve a professional-looking finish.
By following these steps and tips, you can easily apply pull strips to your edge banding projects, ensuring a durable and visually appealing result.
