How to Fix Veneer Edge Banding on Cabinets67

Veneer edge banding is a common way to finish the edges of cabinets. It's a thin layer of wood or plastic that is applied to the edge of the cabinet using an adhesive. Edge banding can help to protect the cabinet from moisture and wear, and it can also give it a more finished appearance. However, over time, edge banding can become loose or damaged. If this happens, you can fix it yourself with a few simple tools and materials.

Tools and materials you'll need:
Utility knife
Sandpaper
New edge banding
Adhesive
J-roller
Clamps

Instructions:

1. Start by removing the old edge banding. Use a utility knife to carefully score the edge of the banding, then use a pry bar to remove it. Be careful not to damage the cabinet when you're doing this.

2. Once the old edge banding is removed, sand the edge of the cabinet to smooth it out. This will help the new edge banding adhere properly.

3. Cut a new piece of edge banding to the length of the cabinet edge. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the edge banding, then press it into place on the cabinet. Use a J-roller to press the edge banding firmly into place.

4. Clamp the edge banding in place until the adhesive has dried. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the cabinet.

Tips:
If the edge banding is thin, you may need to apply two layers of it.
If you're not sure what type of edge banding to use, consult with a professional at your local hardware store.
Be careful not to use too much adhesive, as this can cause the edge banding to become lumpy or uneven.
Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the cabinet. This will help to ensure that the edge banding is securely attached.
