How to Replace Edge Banding249

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of wood panels to create a finished look. It can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. Edge banding is typically applied with an adhesive, and it can be either flush with the surface of the panel or slightly raised.

Over time, edge banding can become damaged or worn, and it may need to be replaced. Replacing edge banding is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few steps.

Materials You Will Need* New edge banding

Instructions1. Remove the old edge banding. Use a trim saw to carefully cut the old edge banding away from the panel. Be careful not to damage the panel itself.
2. Clean the surface of the panel. Remove any old adhesive or dirt from the surface of the panel. This will help the new edge banding to adhere properly.
3. Apply adhesive to the panel. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the edge of the panel. Be sure to apply the adhesive evenly.
