Our self-adhesive edge banding offers a quick and easy solution for protecting and finishing the edges of your furniture and cabinetry. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to apply our self-adhesive edge banding:

Materials you'll need:* Self-adhesive edge banding
* Sharp utility knife or razor blade
* Plastic putty knife or edge banding trimmer
* Sandpaper (120-220 grit)
* Tack cloth or clean cloth
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Pencil or marking tool

Step 1: Prepare the Surface* Clean the surface where the edge banding will be applied to remove any dust or debris.
* Use sandpaper to lightly sand the edge to create a smooth and even surface.
* Wipe down the edge with a tack cloth or clean cloth to remove any remaining particles.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Edge Banding* Measure the length of the edge to be covered and cut a piece of self-adhesive edge banding to the same size.
* Use a sharp utility knife or razor blade to make clean, precise cuts.

Step 3: Peel and Apply the Adhesive* Peel back a small section of the self-adhesive backing, about 2-3 inches.
* Align the edge of the banding with the edge of the furniture and press down firmly.
* Gradually peel back the remaining backing while smoothing out the banding with a plastic putty knife or edge banding trimmer.

Step 4: Trim the Excess Banding* Once the edge banding is applied, use a sharp utility knife or razor blade to trim off any excess material that extends beyond the edge.
* Hold the blade at a 45-degree angle and carefully trim along the edge.

Step 5: Burnish and Sand* Use a plastic putty knife or edge banding trimmer to burnish the edges of the banding, which will help to seal the adhesive and create a smooth finish.
* Sand the edges of the banding lightly with sandpaper to remove any rough edges or imperfections.

Tips:* For curved or irregular edges, you can cut the edge banding into smaller sections and apply them individually.
* Use a heat gun or hair dryer to slightly warm up the adhesive before application for better adhesion.
* If you make a mistake, gently peel back the edge banding and reposition it.
* Allow the adhesive to fully cure for 12-24 hours before using the furniture or cabinetry.

ConclusionApplying self-adhesive edge banding is a simple and cost-effective way to protect and finish the edges of your furniture and cabinetry. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will enhance the durability and beauty of your woodwork.
