Woodworking Edge Banding55

## ##


Introduction
Edge banding, also known as binding tape or edge tape, is a thin strip material applied to the exposed sides of a substrate, such as plywood, particleboard, or MDF. It serves several functions, including:
* Concealing the substrate's raw edges
* Providing a smooth and finished appearance
* Protecting the substrate from moisture and damage
* Enhancing the aesthetics of the piece
Edge banding is widely used in furniture making, cabinetry, and other woodworking applications.


Types of Edge Banding
Edge banding is available in various materials, including:
* Wood veneer: Veneer is a thin layer of wood sliced from a log. It offers a natural wood grain appearance and is commonly used in furniture making and cabinetry.
* Thermoplastic polymers (PVC, ABS, etc.): These synthetic materials are flexible and durable, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. They come in a wide range of colors and textures.
* Acrylic: Acrylic edge banding provides a glossy and modern look. It is durable and scratch-resistant.
* Metal: Metal edge banding, such as aluminum or stainless steel, is sturdy and heat-resistant. It is often used in commercial and industrial applications.


Application Methods
Edge banding can be applied using several methods:
* Iron-on: This method uses a hand-held iron to melt the adhesive on the back of the edge banding and bond it to the substrate.
* Hot melt: Hot melt adhesives are applied to the edge of the substrate and the edge banding is pressed together.
* Solvent-based: Solvent-based adhesives are applied to both the substrate and the edge banding, which are then pressed together and left to dry.
* Pressure-sensitive: Pressure-sensitive edge banding has a self-adhesive backing that allows it to be applied by pressing it onto the substrate.


Choosing the Right Edge Banding
When selecting edge banding, consider the following factors:
* Material: The edge banding material should complement the substrate's material and the overall design aesthetic.
* Thickness: The thickness of the edge banding should be proportionate to the substrate's thickness.
* Color and texture: The color and texture of the edge banding should match or contrast with the substrate, depending on the desired effect.
* Durability: Choose an edge banding material that is durable enough to withstand the expected wear and tear in the intended application.
