How to Remove Edge Banding Glue351

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of plywood, particleboard, or MDF to create a finished look. It is typically held in place with glue, which can be difficult to remove if you need to replace the edge banding or make repairs.

There are a few different ways to remove edge banding glue:
Heat: Heating the glue will soften it, making it easier to remove. You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat the glue. Be careful not to overheat the glue, as this can damage the edge banding.
Chemicals: There are a number of chemical solvents that can dissolve edge banding glue. These solvents are typically available at hardware stores. Be sure to read the label carefully before using any chemical solvent, as some can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
Mechanical: You can also remove edge banding glue mechanically, using a sharp knife or a chisel. This is the most difficult method, but it is also the most effective. Be careful not to damage the edge banding when using a sharp knife or a chisel.

Once you have removed the edge banding glue, you can clean the surface of the edge banding with a damp cloth. If you are replacing the edge banding, be sure to apply a new layer of glue before applying the new edge banding.

Here are some tips for removing edge banding glue:
Always test the method you plan to use on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Wear gloves and eye protection.
Be patient. It may take some time to remove the glue completely.
