How to Fix Mistakes When Applying Edge Banding28

Mistakes can happen when applying edge banding, even to the most experienced professionals. But don't worry, there are ways to fix them. Here are some common mistakes and how to fix them:

1. Edge banding is not flush with the surface of the substrate

This can happen if the edge banding is not applied correctly, or if the substrate is not level. To fix this, you can use a sharp utility knife to trim the edge banding flush with the surface of the substrate. Be careful not to cut into the substrate itself.

2. Edge banding is peeling off

This can happen if the edge banding is not applied correctly, or if the adhesive is not strong enough. To fix this, you can use a heat gun to soften the adhesive and then reapply the edge banding. Make sure to use a strong adhesive that is specifically designed for edge banding.

3. Edge banding is bubbling

This can happen if there is air trapped between the edge banding and the substrate. To fix this, you can use a sharp utility knife to cut a small slit in the edge banding. This will allow the air to escape and the edge banding will lay flat.

4. Edge banding is too thick

This can happen if the edge banding is not the correct size for the substrate. To fix this, you can use a sharp utility knife to trim the edge banding to the correct size. Be careful not to cut into the substrate itself.

5. Edge banding is too thin

This can happen if the edge banding is not the correct size for the substrate. To fix this, you can use a wood filler to fill in the gap between the edge banding and the substrate. Once the wood filler has dried, you can sand it smooth and then apply a new coat of edge banding.

Conclusion

Making mistakes when applying edge banding is not the end of the world. With a little patience and know-how, you can fix any mistake and get a professional-looking finish.
