How to Edge/Band Both Sides of a Line with Edge Banding385

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the exposed edges of plywood, particleboard, or MDF to give it a finished look. It can also be used to create decorative effects. Edge banding is available in a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. The most common type of edge banding is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PVC edge banding is durable, easy to clean, and comes in a variety of colors and finishes.

There are two main ways to apply edge banding: with a hot melt adhesive or with a cold glue. Hot melt adhesive is applied to the edge of the workpiece and then the edge banding is pressed into place. The heat from the adhesive melts the glue and bonds the edge banding to the workpiece. Cold glue is applied to the edge of the workpiece and then the edge banding is pressed into place. The glue will dry and bond the edge banding to the workpiece over time.

To edge band both sides of a line, you will need to use a double-sided edge bander. A double-sided edge bander is a machine that applies edge banding to both sides of a workpiece in one pass. Double-sided edge banders are typically used in commercial applications, but they can also be purchased for home use.

If you do not have access to a double-sided edge bander, you can edge band both sides of a line by hand. To do this, you will need to apply edge banding to one side of the line first. Once the glue has dried, you can then apply edge banding to the other side of the line.

Here are the steps for edge banding both sides of a line by hand:
Cut the edge banding to the desired length.
Apply hot melt adhesive or cold glue to the edge of the workpiece.
Press the edge banding into place.
Trim the excess edge banding.

Once the edge banding has been applied, you can then trim it to the desired length. You can use a utility knife or a flush trim bit to trim the edge banding.

Edge banding is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to give your projects a finished look. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can edge band both sides of a line with ease.
