Can ABS Edging Be Used for Curved Surfaces?304

ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) edging is a type of thermoplastic edging that is commonly used in the furniture industry. It is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. ABS edging can be used to create a seamless and finished look on the edges of furniture, cabinets, and other woodworking projects.

One of the most common questions we get asked is whether or not ABS edging can be used for curved surfaces. The answer is yes, ABS edging can be used for curved surfaces, but it requires a bit more care and attention to detail than edging straight surfaces.

To edge a curved surface with ABS edging, you will need to use a special type of edging machine that is designed for curved surfaces. These machines use a combination of heat and pressure to apply the edging to the surface. The heat softens the edging, making it pliable enough to conform to the shape of the surface. The pressure then bonds the edging to the surface, creating a strong and durable bond.

When edging a curved surface, it is important to use the correct amount of heat and pressure. If you use too much heat, the edging will become too soft and will not adhere properly to the surface. If you use too little heat, the edging will not be pliable enough to conform to the shape of the surface.

It is also important to use the correct speed when edging a curved surface. If you move the machine too quickly, the edging will not have time to bond properly to the surface. If you move the machine too slowly, the edging will become too hot and will burn.

With a little practice, you can get the hang of edging curved surfaces with ABS edging. By following the tips above, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will last for years to come.
