As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we are often asked about how to resolve scratches on edge banding after trimming. This is a common issue that can occur during the manufacturing process, and it is important to have a solution to restore the appearance of your furniture.

There are a few different methods that can be used to fix scratched edge banding after trimming. The best method to use will depend on the severity of the scratch and the type of edge banding that is being used. In most cases, the following steps can be followed:

1. Clean the area around the scratch. This will help to remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the repair.
2. Apply a small amount of wood filler to the scratch. Use a toothpick or a small brush to apply the wood filler, and then allow it to dry completely.
3. Sand the area around the scratch. Once the wood filler has dried, use a fine-grit sandpaper to sand the area around the scratch until it is smooth.
4. Apply a clear finish to the area. This will help to protect the wood filler and prevent the scratch from reappearing.

If the scratch is deep, you may need to use a different method to repair it. One option is to use a heat gun to melt the edge banding around the scratch and then smooth it out. Another option is to use a wood filler that is specifically designed for repairing scratches in edge banding.
