How to Trim Edge Banding on Wardrobe Doors24

Edge banding is an essential part of wardrobe doors, as it provides a smooth, finished look and protects the edges from damage. However, once you've applied the edge banding, you'll need to trim it to the correct size and shape to create a professional-looking finish.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to trim edge banding on wardrobe doors:

1. Gather your tools

You will need the following tools:
A sharp utility knife
A flush trim bit (optional)
A router (optional)
A sanding block
Fine-grit sandpaper

2. Score the edge banding

Use the utility knife to score the edge banding around the edges of the wardrobe door. This will make it easier to cut cleanly and prevent the banding from tearing.

3. Trim the excess banding

If you're using a flush trim bit, insert it into the router and set it to the correct depth. Then, run the router along the edge banding, trimming the excess material.

If you don't have a flush trim bit, you can use the utility knife to carefully trim the excess banding. Be sure to cut slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the edge banding or the wardrobe door.

4. Sand the edges

Once the excess banding has been trimmed, use the sanding block and fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the edges. Sand in the direction of the grain to avoid creating any scratches.

5. Apply a finish

Once the edges have been sanded, you can apply a finish to protect them and enhance the appearance of the wardrobe door. A clear lacquer or polyurethane finish is a good option for edge banding.
