Can I Re-Edge My Furniture If the Edging Has Fallen Off?28

As a leading Chinese furniture edging strip factory, we often get asked whether it is possible to re-edge furniture if the edging has fallen off. The answer is yes, it is possible, but it depends on the type of edging and the condition of the furniture. In this article, we will discuss the different types of edging and how to re-edge your furniture if the edging has fallen off.

Types of Edging

There are three main types of edging: veneer, laminate, and solid wood. Veneer is a thin layer of wood that is glued to the edge of the furniture. Laminate is a type of plastic that is also glued to the edge of the furniture. Solid wood edging is a piece of solid wood that is attached to the edge of the furniture with nails or screws.

How to Re-Edge Your Furniture

The process of re-edging your furniture will vary depending on the type of edging you are using. However, there are some general steps that you can follow:1. Remove the old edging. If the old edging is veneer or laminate, you can usually pry it off with a putty knife. If the old edging is solid wood, you will need to use a saw to cut it off.
2. Clean the edge of the furniture. Once the old edging is removed, you need to clean the edge of the furniture with a damp cloth. This will remove any dust or debris that could interfere with the adhesion of the new edging.
3. Apply new edging. If you are using veneer or laminate edging, you can apply it with contact cement. If you are using solid wood edging, you can attach it with nails or screws.
4. Trim the edging. Once the new edging is applied, you need to trim it to the desired length. You can do this with a utility knife or a saw.
5. Sand the edging. Once the edging is trimmed, you need to sand it smooth. This will help to blend it in with the rest of the furniture.

Tips for Re-Edging Your Furniture

Here are a few tips for re-edging your furniture:* Use the same type of edging that was originally used on the furniture. This will ensure that the new edging matches the rest of the furniture.
* Make sure the edge of the furniture is clean and dry before applying the new edging. This will help to ensure that the new edging adheres properly.
* Apply the new edging carefully and evenly. This will help to prevent the edging from peeling or cracking.
* Trim the edging to the desired length and sand it smooth. This will help to blend the edging in with the rest of the furniture.
