Step-by-Step Edge Banding Installation Guide for Iceboxes

1. Surface Preparation

Clean and dry the edges of the icebox to remove any dust, dirt, or oil that may interfere with the bonding process.

2. Cut Edge Banding to Length

Measure and cut the edge banding to the correct length using an edge banding cutter.

3. Apply Adhesive

If using a glue gun, apply a thin layer of hot melt adhesive to the back of the edge banding. If using a hot air gun, apply a suitable edge banding adhesive to the icebox edge.

4. Position and Heat the Edge Banding

Align the edge banding with the edge of the icebox and firmly press it into place. Use a hot air gun or pressure roller to apply heat and activate the adhesive.

5. Trim Excess Edge Banding

Once the adhesive has cooled, use an edge banding trimmer to remove any excess material from the edges.

6. Seal the Edges

Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant or edge banding sealer to the edges for a watertight seal.

* Apply sufficient adhesive to prevent the edge banding from peeling off.
* Hold the edge banding firmly in place until the adhesive has cooled and solidified.
* Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately to prevent smudging.
* Allow the icebox to dry thoroughly before using it.
