As a leading Chinese furniture edge banding strip manufacturer, we understand the crucial role edge banding plays in enhancing the durability, aesthetics, and functionality of furniture pieces. In this comprehensive video tutorial, we will guide you through the meticulous process of applying edge banding strips to cabinet doors with precision and ease.

Before embarking on this project, it is essential to gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need:- Edge banding strips
- Contact cement
- Edge banding trimmer
- Flush trim bit
- Router
- Safety glasses
- Dust mask

Once you have assembled your materials, follow these step-by-step instructions for a seamless edge banding application:
Prepare the Cabinet Doors: Prior to applying edge banding strips, ensure that the surfaces of the cabinet doors are clean, dry, and free of any debris. This will guarantee proper adhesion.
Apply Contact Cement: Using a thin, even layer, apply contact cement to both the edge of the cabinet door and the underside of the edge banding strip. Allow the cement to become tacky for approximately 10-15 minutes.
Position the Edge Banding: Carefully align the edge banding strip with the edge of the cabinet door and press it firmly into place. Ensure that the strip overlaps the edge by approximately 1/16 inch.
Trim the Overhang: Utilizing an edge banding trimmer, remove the excess edge banding material that extends beyond the edge of the cabinet door. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the newly applied edge banding.
Flush Trim the Edge: Install a flush trim bit into your router and set the depth to match the thickness of the edge banding. Carefully route along the edge of the cabinet door to create a flush and professional-looking finish.
Sand and Finish: To smooth any rough edges or imperfections, lightly sand the trimmed edge. If desired, you can apply a clear finish to protect the edge banding from wear and tear.

By following these detailed instructions, you can achieve a flawless and durable edge banding application that will enhance the appearance and longevity of your cabinet doors.
