What is Edge Banding?

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the exposed end grain of plywood, particleboard, or MDF. It serves several functions:
Protects the core material from moisture and damage
Provides a smooth, finished edge
Enhances the aesthetics of your furniture

Materials You'll Need
Edge banding material (available in various colors, materials, and finishes)
Edge banding adhesive
Edge banding trimmer
Sandpaper or sanding block
Clean rags or paper towels

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Edge

Start by ensuring that the edge of your furniture is clean and free of dust or debris. Use sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections.

2. Apply Adhesive

Apply a thin layer of edge banding adhesive to the exposed edge of your furniture. Use a brush or foam roller to evenly distribute the adhesive.

3. Apply Edge Banding

Align the edge banding material with the edge of your furniture and press it firmly into place. Use a roller or your fingers to apply pressure and ensure a secure bond.

4. Trim Excess Edge Banding

Once the edge banding is in place, use an edge banding trimmer to remove any excess material that extends beyond the edge of your furniture.

5. Sand and Finish

Sand the edge banding to smooth out the surface and remove any sharp edges. Use fine-grit sandpaper and work in the direction of the grain.

Tips for Success
Choose an edge banding material that complements the color and finish of your furniture.
Use a high-quality edge banding adhesive designed specifically for this purpose.
Apply even pressure when applying the edge banding to ensure a strong bond.

Sand the edge banding thoroughly to create a smooth, professional-looking finish.
