Materials Required

Edge banding adhesive
Trimmer
Handheld router (optional)
Sandpaper or abrasive pad
Clean cloth or sponge

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

1. Clean the Surface

Thoroughly clean the surface of the wardrobe board to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Ensure the surface is smooth and free of imperfections.

2. Apply Adhesive

Apply a thin layer of edge banding adhesive to the edge of the board using a brush or roller. Make sure the adhesive is evenly distributed.

3. Position the Edge Banding

Carefully align the edge banding with the edge of the board and press it firmly into place. Use a rubber mallet or hand roller to ensure secure adhesion.

4. Trim the Excess

Once the edge banding is positioned, use a trimmer to cut off the excess material. Hold the trimmer parallel to the surface of the board and trim away any overhanging edges.

5. Round the Corners (Optional)

For a more refined finish, you can round the corners of the edge banding using a handheld router. Use a small bit and make gentle curves at each corner.

6. Sand and Clean

Sand the edges of the edge banding using fine-grit sandpaper or an abrasive pad. This will smooth out any rough edges and remove any adhesive residue.

7. Wipe and Inspect

Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away any dust or debris. Inspect the finished edge banding for any imperfections or gaps. If necessary, apply a small amount of additional adhesive to any problem areas.

Additional Tips
Choose high-quality edge banding that is both durable and compatible with your wardrobe material.
Use enough adhesive to ensure a strong bond, but avoid using too much, as this can create a messy finish.
Trim the edge banding precisely to create a clean and professional look.
Round the corners slightly to prevent sharp edges and enhance safety.
If you are using a router for rounding the corners, make sure to wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses and gloves.
