How to Install Cabinet Edge Banding with Click-On Profiles67

Edge banding is a vital component of cabinetry, providing a seamless finish and protecting the edges of plywood or MDF from moisture damage. Click-on edge banding is a type of pre-glued edge banding that is easy to install, making it a great choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Materials Required

Before starting, gather the following materials:* Click-on edge banding
* Utility knife
* Edge banding trimmer
* Mallet
* Sharpie marker

Step 1: Prepare the Cabinet

Start by ensuring the cabinet edges are clean, dry, and free of any debris. Use a sharpie marker to draw a straight line along the edge where the edge banding will be applied.

Step 2: Cut the Edge Banding

Measure the length of the edge and cut the edge banding accordingly. Use a utility knife and a straight edge for precise cuts.

Step 3: Apply the Glue

Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the base of the edge banding. Use a brush or the edge banding itself to spread the glue evenly.

Step 4: Align and Install Edge Banding

Carefully align the edge banding with the marked line on the cabinet edge. Start from one end and firmly press the edge banding into place. Use a mallet to tap gently along the length of the edge banding to ensure a secure bond.

Step 5: Trim Excess Banding

Once the edge banding is installed, use an edge banding trimmer to remove any excess material. Run the trimmer along the edge to create a flush finish.

Step 6: Clean Up

Wipe away any excess glue or debris using a damp cloth. Let the glue dry completely before using the cabinetry.

Additional Tips* Ensure the glue used is compatible with the material of your cabinet edges.
* If you encounter any gaps, use a small amount of extra glue to fill them in.
* Be patient and take your time during the installation process.
* Practice on a scrap piece of wood if you're unfamiliar with click-on edge banding.
