How to Replace Cabinet Door Edge Banding342

Cabinet door edge banding is an important part of the cabinet door's construction. It provides a finished edge to the door, and helps to protect the door from moisture and damage. Over time, edge banding can become damaged or worn, and will need to be replaced. Replacing cabinet door edge banding is a relatively simple process, and can be done with a few basic tools.

Tools and materials needed:* New edge banding
* Utility knife
* Sandpaper
* Wood glue
* Clamps
* Iron or heat gun

Instructions:1. Remove the old edge banding. To do this, use a utility knife to score along the edge of the door, then use a putty knife or other thin tool to pry the old edge banding off. Be careful not to damage the door itself.
2. Sand the edge of the door. Once the old edge banding is removed, use sandpaper to sand the edge of the door smooth. This will help the new edge banding to adhere properly.
3. Apply wood glue to the edge of the door. Use a thin bead of wood glue along the edge of the door, where the new edge banding will go.
4. Apply the new edge banding. Line up the new edge banding with the edge of the door, and then press it into place. Use clamps to hold the edge banding in place while the glue dries.
5. Trim the excess edge banding. Once the glue has dried, use a utility knife to trim any excess edge banding. Be sure to cut the edge banding flush with the edge of the door.
6. Heat the edge banding. Use an iron or heat gun to heat the edge banding. This will help to seal the edge banding to the door.

Tips:* When choosing new edge banding, be sure to select a material that is compatible with the type of wood used in the cabinet door.
* If the edge of the door is damaged, you may need to repair it before applying the new edge banding.
* Be careful not to apply too much wood glue, as this can cause the edge banding to bubble or peel.
* Allow the glue to dry completely before using the door.
