How to Apply Edge Banding on Curved Surfaces [Video]71

Edge banding is a thin strip of material, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal, that is applied to the exposed edges of plywood, particleboard, or MDF to create a finished and professional-looking appearance. It can also be used to protect the edges of the material from damage. Edge banding is available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, so you can choose the one that best matches your project.

Applying edge banding to a flat surface is relatively easy, but it can be a bit more challenging to apply it to a curved surface. In this video, we will show you how to apply edge banding to a curved surface using a simple technique that anyone can master.

Materials:* Edge banding
* Curved surface
* Iron or heat gun
* Edge trimmer
* Sandpaper

Instructions:1. Cut the edge banding to the desired length.
2. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the edge banding.
3. Align the edge banding with the edge of the curved surface.
4. Use an iron or heat gun to heat the edge banding and press it into place.
5. Use an edge trimmer to trim the excess edge banding.
6. Sand the edge banding smooth.

Tips:* Use a thin layer of adhesive, as too much adhesive can make the edge banding difficult to apply.
* Heat the edge banding evenly, as too much heat can damage the material.
* Press the edge banding firmly into place, as this will help to ensure a strong bond.
* Trim the excess edge banding carefully, as this will help to create a clean and professional-looking finish.

Here are some additional tips for applying edge banding to curved surfaces:* If the curved surface is very tight, you may need to use a heat gun to soften the edge banding before you apply it.
* You can also use a curved edge trimmer to trim the excess edge banding.
* If you are applying edge banding to a large curved surface, you may want to use a vacuum press to help hold the edge banding in place while the adhesive dries.

With a little practice, you can apply edge banding to curved surfaces like a pro. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
