As a renowned manufacturer of furniture edge banding strips in China, we understand the frustration of dealing with unsightly or poorly applied edge banding. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you achieve a perfect edge banding finish that will enhance the beauty and durability of your furniture.

Materials You'll Need:* Edge banding strip
* Trimmer
* Flush trim router bit
* Contact cement
* Roller
* Sanding block
* Soft cloth

Step 1: Preparation
Thoroughly clean and dry the edges of the furniture piece.
Measure and cut the edge banding strip to the desired length.
Apply contact cement to both the edge of the furniture and the back of the banding strip.

Step 2: Applying the Banding Strip
Align the edge of the banding strip with the edge of the furniture.
Press the strip firmly into place, ensuring that there are no air bubbles.
Use a roller to apply even pressure and enhance adhesion.

Step 3: Trimming the Excess Banding
Once the banding strip has cured, use a trimmer equipped with a sharp blade to trim the excess material at an angle of 45 degrees.
Hold the trimmer steady and follow the contour of the edge.

Step 4: Flush Routing
Attach a flush trim router bit to your router.
Set the router to the appropriate depth, typically 1/16 inch.
Carefully route the edge of the banding flush with the surface of the furniture.

Step 5: Sanding and Finishing
Use a fine-grit sanding block to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections.
Wipe away any sanding dust with a soft cloth.
Apply a finishing coat, such as polyurethane or lacquer, to protect the edge banding and enhance its appearance.

Tips for a Perfect Finish:* Use high-quality edge banding strips that are durable and resistant to wear and tear.
* Allow the contact cement to dry for the recommended time before applying the banding.
* Apply firm pressure when aligning and pressing the banding strip into place.
* Make sure the trimmer blade is sharp for a precise cut.
* Use fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish and avoid over-sanding.
* Apply a thin, even coat of finishing for optimal protection and appearance.
