Materials and Tools You'll Need:* Edge banding strip (matching your wardrobe color and thickness)
* Edge banding trimmer
* Hot air gun (with variable temperature setting)
* Trimming knife
* Measuring tape
* Pencil
* Clean cloths

Step 1: Prepare Your Wardrobe* Clean the edges of your wardrobe to remove any dirt or debris.
* Measure and mark the exact length of banding required for each edge.
* Cut the edge banding strips to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Step 2: Apply Heat to the Edge Banding* Set your hot air gun to a temperature between 120-140°C (250-280°F).
* Hold the hot air gun at a 45-degree angle to the edge of the wardrobe, ensuring the airflow is directed towards the edge banding.
* Apply heat evenly along the length of the edge banding, moving the gun slowly to prevent overheating.

Step 3: Press on the Edge Banding* While the edge banding is still hot and pliable, press it firmly onto the edge of the wardrobe.
* Use a clean cloth or your fingers, maintaining even pressure to ensure proper adhesion.
* Avoid over-pressing, as this may cause the banding to wrinkle or deform.

Step 4: Trim the Excess Banding* Once the edge banding has cooled and adhered, use the edge banding trimmer to cut off any excess material.
* Position the trimmer at the edge of the wardrobe and run it along the length of the edge banding, applying gentle pressure.
* Be careful not to cut into the wardrobe itself.

Step 5: Finishing Touches* Use a trimming knife to remove any small remnants of edge banding that may have been missed by the trimmer.
* Wipe down the edges with a clean cloth to remove any glue residue or dust.
* Admire your beautifully finished wardrobe, enhanced with professional-grade edge banding.

Tips for a Flawless Finish:* Use a high-quality edge banding that matches the color and thickness of your wardrobe.
* Ensure the edge of the wardrobe is clean and dry before applying the banding.
* Heat the edge banding evenly and avoid overheating.
* Press on the banding firmly and maintain even pressure throughout.
* Trim the excess banding carefully to achieve a precise finish.
* Take your time and enjoy the process of transforming your wardrobe.
