Thread: Edge banding with ABS enquiry

If you are making solid wooden doors why would you want to use edge strips

Keith,
a couple of options:
1. Cut your board to size and take it to a cabinetmaker for him to stick the edging on.
2. Use contact cement to stick it on and trim off with a trimmer/router with a flush trimming bit.
3. Use iron on veneer edge banding to match your timber doors instead.

Edgebanders use hotmelt glue.

You could try contact adhesive but make sure it doesnt eat into the ABS.

Do you mean you want to edge the veneered doors with a veneer edgetape? If so, use contact adhesive.

Because I don't want a white melamine strip showing in the reveal of the cabinets and I think wood veneer would not be as hardy as 2mm woodgrain ABS

Cheers

Yeh I know, I apologise was on the phone at the same time did not reed the thread properly leaped before I looked.Terrible shock though found out I'm not perfect

Another method would be to attach solid wood strips to the edge of the board, lots of work but we used to do it a few years ago
