Step 1: Prepare the Wardrobe Surface* Clean the wardrobe surface thoroughly using a cleaning solution to remove any dirt or debris.
* Ensure that the surface is dry before applying the edge banding.

Step 2: Apply Hot-Melt Adhesive* Apply a thin layer of hot-melt adhesive to the edge of the wardrobe using an adhesive applicator.
* The thickness of the adhesive should be sufficient to provide a strong bond without excess residue.

Step 3: Attach the Edging Strip* Carefully position the edging strip along the edge of the wardrobe.
* Gently press the strip into place, ensuring it adheres uniformly to the surface.

Step 4: Use an Edging Machine* Pass the edged wardrobe through an edging machine.
* The machine's heated rollers will activate the adhesive and bond the strip securely to the surface.

Step 5: Trim Excess Edging* Use a trimmer to remove any excess edging material that extends beyond the wardrobe edge.

Step 6: Sand the Edge* Lightly sand the edge to smooth any rough spots or edges.
* Use fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge to avoid damaging the surface.

Step 7: Finishing Touches* Remove any dust created during the sanding process using a soft cloth.
* Apply a sealant or wax to protect the edge band and enhance its durability.

Tips for Flawless Edge Banding* Choose the right edging material and adhesive for your specific wardrobe material.
* Ensure that the adhesive is compatible with both the edging strip and the wardrobe surface.
* Apply the adhesive evenly and avoid using excessive amounts.
* Position the edging strip precisely before activating the adhesive.
* Use an edging machine with the correct settings for the edging strip thickness.
* Trim the excess edging carefully to avoid damaging the surface.
