Step 1: Preparation

1. Gather your materials: edge banding, glue, heat gun, trimming tool, and sandpaper.
2. Ensure that the workpiece surface is clean, dry, and free from any imperfections.
3. Apply a thin layer of glue to the edge of the workpiece.

Step 2: Heating the Edge Banding

1. Use a heat gun to heat the edge banding until it becomes pliable.
2. Carefully apply the heated edge banding to the workpiece, aligning it with the edge.
3. Use a rolling tool or hand pressure to firmly press the edge banding into place.

Step 3: Bending the Edge Banding

1. Place a thin, flexible backing material (e.g., cardboard) behind the workpiece.
2. Use a heat gun to carefully heat the center of the edge banding while simultaneously pushing it outwards with a bending tool.
3. Gradually increase the heat and bending force until the desired curve is achieved.

Step 4: Trimming and Sanding

1. Once the edge banding is cooled, use a trimming tool to remove any excess material.
2. Sand the edges of the edge banding lightly to create a smooth finish.
3. Apply a sealant to protect the edge banding from moisture and wear.

Additional Tips and Tricks

- Use a high-quality heat gun with adjustable temperature settings to avoid overheating or damaging the edge banding.
- If the edge banding starts to buckle during heating, apply more glue to the workpiece before proceeding.
- Practice on scrap pieces before attempting to curve edge banding on actual workpieces.
- For tighter curves, consider using pre-curved edge banding strips specifically designed for this purpose.

By following these steps and incorporating these tips, you can master the art of curved edge banding and elevate the beauty and functionality of your furniture pieces.
