Can You Use Veneer Tape on Glue-Filled Edges?248

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we are often asked about the best way to apply edge banding to different types of substrates. One of the most common questions we get is whether or not you can use veneer tape on glue-filled edges.

The answer to this question is yes, you can use veneer tape on glue-filled edges. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind in order to get the best results.

First, it is important to make sure that the glue-filled edge is clean and free of any dust or debris. This will help to ensure that the veneer tape will adhere properly.

Second, you need to use the correct type of glue. We recommend using a water-based contact cement. This type of glue will provide a strong bond between the veneer tape and the glue-filled edge.

Third, you need to apply the veneer tape carefully. Make sure to press the tape firmly into place and to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. You can use a roller or a burnishing tool to help you do this.

Once the veneer tape is applied, you need to allow it to dry completely. This will typically take about 24 hours. Once the glue is dry, you can trim the excess tape and sand the edge to a smooth finish.

Here are some additional tips for using veneer tape on glue-filled edges:
Use a sharp knife to cut the veneer tape. This will help to prevent the tape from tearing.
Apply the veneer tape in one continuous piece. This will help to create a strong bond between the tape and the edge.
If you are using a roller to apply the veneer tape, make sure to roll in the direction of the grain. This will help to prevent the tape from bubbling.
Allow the veneer tape to dry completely before trimming or sanding. This will help to ensure that the tape will not peel off.

By following these tips, you can use veneer tape on glue-filled edges to create a beautiful and durable finish.
