How to Apply Edging Tape to Wardrobe Doors132

Edging tape is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of wardrobe doors to protect them from wear and tear. It also gives the doors a more finished look. There are two main types of edging tape: self-adhesive and non-adhesive. Self-adhesive edging tape is the easiest to apply, as it simply peels and sticks to the door. Non-adhesive edging tape must be applied with glue or a heat gun.
Here are the steps on how to apply edging tape to wardrobe doors:

1. Materials you'll need

- Edging tape
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Adhesive or heat gun (if using non-adhesive edging tape)
- Clean cloth

2. Measure and cut the edging tape

Use a tape measure to determine the length of the edge of the door that you need to cover. Cut the edging tape to the desired length using scissors.

3. Apply the edging tape

If you are using self-adhesive edging tape, simply peel off the backing and press the tape onto the edge of the door. Smooth out the tape with a clean cloth to remove any air bubbles.
If you are using non-adhesive edging tape, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the edge of the door. Then, press the edging tape onto the adhesive and smooth it out with a clean cloth.
Use a heat gun to heat the non-adhesive edging tape if necessary. This will help to activate the adhesive and ensure a strong bond.

4. Trim the excess edging tape

Use a sharp knife to trim any excess edging tape that is hanging over the edge of the door.

5. Finish

Your wardrobe door is now finished with a clean, professional-looking edge.

Tips

- For best results, use a sharp knife to cut the edging tape. A dull knife can tear or fray the tape.
- If you are using non-adhesive edging tape, make sure to apply the adhesive evenly to the edge of the door. This will help to ensure a strong bond.
- Use a heat gun to heat the non-adhesive edging tape if necessary. This will help to activate the adhesive and ensure a strong bond.
- Trim any excess edging tape that is hanging over the edge of the door. This will give the door a clean, finished look.
