What Is Iron-On Edging? | Cadre Components | Edge Banding

Applying edge banding to the corner is harder than applying it to the flat surfaces of your plywood, but it’s worth knowing how to do it.This iron is built to last with features such as a stainless-steel soleplate, an anti-calcium system to use any water, and an auto-cleaning system. We do recommend it for finishing touches if you’re really worried about the finish not coming out perfect or something like that. Inspect the edge banding before you cut it to length so you can cut around splices and avoid surprises later. You want to look for areas like that and sand it down until you can’t see where the plywood ends and the edge banding begins.

Follow my instructions if you wonder how to apply non pre-glued edge banding without mess or wasting time.After 20 seconds, you will need to take it off and what’s left is a glued-up plywood edge with a nice-looking piece of oak or maple wood at the top which usually matches your tabletop in color nicely. Since less veneer is being removed with this side of the trimmer, the likelihood of runaway splits is greatly reduced. However, all of these irons have been tested to be used in large project settings, so it’s really down to preference! You should keep in mind that the temperature of your Iron has to be 400 degrees F or less than this; otherwise, your wood edge banding will burn off and ruin all the work you have done so far on your project.

Edge Banding With Iron-On Veneer Edging - The Family Handyman

Maybe you already know what edge banding is, but let me explain it to those who don’t know or aren’t sure. It’s smaller than most irons, so you can reach tight corners where an average-sized one wouldn’t fit. Since the edge banding is a wood veneer, if you get the edge banding that matches your wood type, your paint or stain should take to your edge-banding the same it takes to the rest of your plywood.If you are not satisfied with your edge banding, do it again until the result meets your expectations. With over 70 years of experience in edge banding, we guarantee top-quality service at affordable rates. Once headed, the glue melts to create an extremely strong bond between the tape and whatever edge it’s applied to. There are two types of rubber edge banding, one is with an adhesive strip on the back, and another type has an open-cell sponge glued to the plywood. We hope that our guide has given you a better sense of what each type of plywood can do and which will be best for your project.
