How to Edge Band with Your Own Edge Banding121

As a leading manufacturer of furniture edge banding, we're often asked about the best way to edge band at home. While there are a variety of methods, the most common and beginner-friendly technique is to use an iron-on edge banding strip. This method is relatively quick and easy, and it can be done with minimal tools.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to edge band with your own edge banding:
Gather your materials. You will need:

Furniture edge banding strip
Iron or edge banding iron
Trimmer
Sandpaper


Prepare the surface. The surface of the furniture must be clean and free of any dirt or grease. If necessary, sand the surface to smooth it out.
Apply the edge banding. Peel off the backing of the edge banding strip and apply it to the edge of the furniture. Start at one end and work your way to the other. Use your fingers to press the edge banding into place.
Iron the edge banding. Use the iron or edge banding iron to press the edge banding onto the furniture. Start at one end and work your way to the other. Apply even pressure and heat until the edge banding is fully bonded to the furniture.
Trim the excess. Use the trimmer to trim off any excess edge banding. Be careful not to cut into the furniture.
Sand the edge banding. Use sandpaper to smooth out the edge banding and make it flush with the furniture.

With a little practice, you'll be able to edge band like a pro! Here are a few tips to help you get the best results:
Use a sharp trimmer blade. A dull blade will tear the edge banding.
Don't overheat the edge banding. If the edge banding is too hot, it will bubble and wrinkle.
Apply even pressure when ironing the edge banding. This will help to ensure a strong bond.
Sand the edge banding flush with the furniture. This will give your project a professional finish.
