What Type of Glue Strip Should You Use for Wardrobe Edging?288

As a leading manufacturer of furniture edge banding in China, we often get asked about the type of glue strip to use for wardrobe edging. In this article, we'll discuss the different types of glue strips available and help you choose the right one for your project.

Types of Glue Strips

There are two main types of glue strips used for wardrobe edging: hot melt glue strips and pressure-sensitive glue strips.

Hot melt glue strips are activated by heat, which melts the glue and allows it to bond to the edging and the wardrobe. Hot melt glue strips are strong and durable, but they require a special glue gun to apply.

Pressure-sensitive glue strips are activated by pressure, which bonds the glue to the edging and the wardrobe. Pressure-sensitive glue strips are easy to apply, but they may not be as strong or durable as hot melt glue strips.

Choosing the Right Glue Strip

The type of glue strip you choose will depend on several factors, including:
The material of the edging
The material of the wardrobe
The environment in which the wardrobe will be used

For example, if you are using a laminate edging on a wooden wardrobe, a hot melt glue strip would be a good choice. If you are using a veneer edging on a metal wardrobe, a pressure-sensitive glue strip would be a better choice.

It's also important to consider the environment in which the wardrobe will be used. If the wardrobe will be used in a high-humidity environment, you will need to choose a glue strip that is resistant to moisture.

Applying the Glue Strip

Once you have chosen the right glue strip, you can apply it to the edging and the wardrobe. The specific instructions for applying the glue strip will vary depending on the type of glue strip you are using.

For hot melt glue strips, you will need to use a glue gun to heat the glue and apply it to the edging and the wardrobe. For pressure-sensitive glue strips, you will simply need to peel off the backing and press the glue strip onto the edging and the wardrobe.

Conclusion

Choosing the right glue strip for wardrobe edging is essential for ensuring a strong and durable bond. By considering the factors discussed in this article, you can choose the right glue strip for your project and get the best results.
