Materials and Equipment

Before starting, ensure you have the following materials and equipment:* Edge banding strip in the desired color and material
* Hot melt adhesive
* Edge banding machine
* Round hole cutter
* Trim router
* Sandpaper or sanding block
* Clean cloths

Step 1: Prepare the Round Hole

Using a round hole cutter, carefully cut the hole in the furniture piece. Ensure the cutter is of the correct diameter to accommodate the edge banding strip comfortably.

Step 2: Apply Hot Melt Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of hot melt adhesive to the edge of the round hole. Use a glue gun or an edge banding machine with an integrated glue applicator.

Step 3: Feed the Edge Banding Strip

Feed the edge banding strip into the edge banding machine. Adjust the settings to ensure the strip is fed at the correct speed and temperature.

Step 4: Feed the Furniture Piece

Carefully align the edge of the furniture piece with the edge banding strip. Feed the piece through the machine, pressing it firmly against the adhesive.

Step 5: Trim the Excess

Once the edge banding strip has been applied, use a trim router to remove any excess. Guide the router along the edge of the hole, ensuring a clean and precise cut.

Step 6: Sand the Edge

Use sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth the edges of the edge banding strip and blend it with the surrounding surface. Start with coarser grit sandpaper and gradually move to finer grit for a smooth finish.

Step 7: Clean the Surface

Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris from the sanding process. This will help ensure a pristine finish.

Additional Tips* If the round hole has irregularities, use a filler to smooth the surface before applying the edge banding strip.
* If you do not have an edge banding machine, you can manually apply the adhesive and press the strip onto the edge.
* Use a small piece of wood or plastic as a backing to support the edge of the furniture piece during the feeding process.
* Allow the adhesive to cool completely before handling the furniture piece to prevent damage to the edge banding strip.
