Causes of Soft EdgingBefore we delve into the solution, let's identify the common causes of soft edging:
Using edge banding material that is too soft for the application
Incorrect edge banding machine settings
Insufficient heat or pressure during the edge banding process
Poor-quality edge banding adhesive

Step-by-Step TutorialNow, let's walk you through the steps of edge banding with soft edging:
Prepare the Edge: Ensure the edge of your workpiece is clean, dry, and free of any debris. Use a sander or scraper to smooth the edge if necessary.
Apply Edge Banding Adhesive: Use a high-quality edge banding adhesive and apply it evenly to the edge of the workpiece. Allow the adhesive to become tacky before proceeding.
Set the Edge Banding Machine: Adjust the temperature, pressure, and speed settings of the edge banding machine to suit the soft edging material. Refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions for specific settings.
Position the Edge Banding: Align the edge banding strip with the workpiece and feed it into the edge banding machine. Ensure the alignment is precise to avoid uneven edges.
Edge Band the Workpiece: Activate the edge banding machine and guide the workpiece through the machine. The soft edging material will melt and adhere to the workpiece's edge under heat and pressure.
Trim the Excess: Once the edge banding is complete, use a sharp utility knife or trimmer to remove any excess material from the edges.
Finish the Edge: Sand or scrape the edged surface to remove any rough edges and achieve a smooth finish.

Tips for Success
Test the edge banding settings on a scrap piece before working on your actual workpiece.
Use a high-quality edge banding adhesive specifically designed for soft edging materials.
Apply sufficient heat and pressure during the edge banding process to ensure proper adhesion.
Trim the excess material carefully to avoid compromising the integrity of the edge banding.
If you encounter any difficulties, do not hesitate to contact the manufacturer of your edge banding machine or adhesive for assistance.
