Can Snap-On Edge Banding Be Removed and Reattached?23

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we're often asked if snap-on edge banding can be removed and reattached. The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

How to Remove Snap-On Edge Banding

To remove snap-on edge banding, you will need a sharp utility knife or a dedicated edge banding trimmer. Carefully score the edge of the banding along the length of the edge, being careful not to cut into the substrate. Once you have scored the edge, you can gently pry the banding away from the substrate using a thin putty knife or a flat-head screwdriver.

Preparing the Substrate for Reattachment

Once the edge banding has been removed, you will need to prepare the substrate for reattachment. This involves cleaning the surface of the substrate to remove any dust or debris. You may also need to sand the surface lightly to create a smooth surface for the new edge banding to adhere to.

Reattaching the Edge Banding

To reattach the edge banding, simply snap it into place on the prepared substrate. The banding should fit snugly against the substrate, and there should be no gaps. If there are any gaps, you can use a rubber mallet to gently tap the banding into place.

Cautions

There are a few things to keep in mind when removing and reattaching snap-on edge banding.
Always use a sharp utility knife or a dedicated edge banding trimmer to score the edge of the banding. A dull knife will tear the banding, making it difficult to remove.
Be careful not to cut into the substrate when scoring the edge of the banding. This can damage the substrate and make it difficult to reattach the banding.
When reattaching the banding, make sure that it is snapped into place securely. If the banding is not snapped in place securely, it may come loose and fall off.
