Materials Required:
Soft PVC edge banding
Contact cement
Plastic scraper
Trimming knife
Sandpaper
Clean cloth

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Thoroughly clean the edge of the furniture to remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Sand the surface to create a slightly rough texture for better adhesion.

Step 2: Apply Contact Cement

Apply a thin and even layer of contact cement to both the edge of the furniture and the back of the edge banding. Allow it to dry approximately 15-20 minutes until it becomes tacky.

Step 3: Position the Edge Banding

Align the edge banding with the edge of the furniture, ensuring it is flush with the surface. Use a plastic scraper or roller to apply pressure and firmly adhere the banding to the furniture.

Step 4: Seal the Ends

Trim the excess edge banding at both ends using a trimming knife. Fold the excess onto the inside and cut it off flush with the surface. Seal the ends with a small amount of contact cement to prevent moisture from penetrating.

Step 5: Remove Excess Adhesive

Use a clean cloth to wipe away any excess contact cement that may have squeezed out during application. Wipe in the direction of the edge banding to avoid tearing or damaging it.

Step 6: Trim the Edge Banding

Once the contact cement has fully cured, use a trimming knife to carefully trim the edge banding flush with the surface of the furniture. Make sure to hold the knife at a slight angle to avoid damaging the surface.

Step 7: Sand and Finish

Sand the edges lightly to remove any sharp edges or imperfections. Apply a furniture polish or wax for a protective finish and to enhance the appearance of the edge banding.

Tips for Successful Soft Edge Banding:
Use high-quality edge banding and contact cement for optimal adhesion.
Allow the contact cement to dry tacky before bonding to ensure a strong hold.
Apply even pressure when applying the edge banding to prevent bubbles or gaps.
Trim the edge banding carefully to achieve a clean and professional finish.
Sand the edges lightly to remove any sharp edges and enhance the overall look.
