How to Remove Veneer Edge Banding20

Veneer edge banding is a thin strip of wood or other material that is applied to the edges of plywood or other wood substrates to give them a finished look. It can be glued on or applied with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Over time, veneer edge banding can become damaged or worn, and you may need to remove it in order to repair or replace it.

There are a few different ways to remove veneer edge banding. The most common method is to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive. Once the adhesive is soft, you can use a putty knife or other thin, flat tool to pry the edge banding off. Be careful not to damage the substrate when you are removing the edge banding.

If you do not have a heat gun, you can also use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. However, it will take longer to soften the adhesive with a hair dryer than it will with a heat gun. Once the adhesive is soft, you can use a putty knife or other thin, flat tool to pry the edge banding off.

Another method for removing veneer edge banding is to use a chemical stripper. Chemical strippers are available at most hardware stores. Apply the stripper to the edge banding and let it sit for the amount of time specified on the product label. Once the stripper has had time to work, you can use a putty knife or other thin, flat tool to pry the edge banding off.

No matter which method you use to remove veneer edge banding, be careful not to damage the substrate. If you are not comfortable removing the edge banding yourself, you can hire a professional to do it for you.## Additional Tips for Removing Veneer Edge Banding
* If the edge banding is glued on, you may need to use a chisel to score the adhesive before you can pry the edge banding off.
* If the edge banding is applied with pressure-sensitive adhesive, you can try to peel it off by hand. If you cannot peel the edge banding off by hand, you can use a putty knife or other thin, flat tool to pry it off.
* Be sure to clean the substrate thoroughly after you have removed the edge banding. This will help to ensure that the new edge banding will adhere properly.
