How to Make Kitchen Cabinet Edge Banding: A Step-by-Step Video Guide55

Edge banding is an essential part of kitchen cabinet construction. It protects the exposed edges of the cabinet from moisture, dirt, and other damage. It also gives the cabinet a more finished and professional look.

There are a few different ways to apply edge banding, but the most common method is to use a hot melt adhesive. This type of adhesive creates a strong bond between the edge banding and the cabinet substrate.

In this video, we will show you how to apply edge banding to a kitchen cabinet using a hot melt adhesive.

Materials- Kitchen cabinet
- Edge banding
- Hot melt adhesive
- Edge banding trimmer
- Sandpaper

Instructions1. Prepare the cabinet. Clean the edges of the cabinet that you will be applying the edge banding to. Remove any dirt, dust, or grease.
2. Apply the hot melt adhesive. Place the edge banding on the edge of the cabinet and apply a bead of hot melt adhesive to the back of the banding.
3. Press the edge banding into place. Press the edge banding firmly into place. Use a cloth to smooth out the banding and remove any excess adhesive.
4. Trim the edge banding. Use an edge banding trimmer to trim the excess banding from the edges of the cabinet.
5. Sand the edge banding. Sand the edge banding smooth. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to avoid damaging the banding.

Tips- Use a sharp edge banding trimmer to get a clean, even cut.
- If you are applying edge banding to a curved surface, use a heat gun to soften the banding before you press it into place.
- Be careful not to apply too much hot melt adhesive. Too much adhesive can squeeze out from the edges of the banding and make a mess.
