Pasting of chipboard with pvc edge. Adhesive worktop edgeband - how to glue? Final material grinding

Chipboard - the most suitable material for the production of reliable and high quality inexpensive furniture... In order to hide the not too aesthetically pleasing internal structure of the product, edging is performed from the end side - the installation of special decorative panels from melamine, PVC or other available synthetic plastics.

Why else do they trim furniture?

In addition to the most obvious goal - to provide an elegant appearance, furniture edging performs several more equally important tasks:

Where to trim

Furniture manufacturers often trim only the visible parts of the end surfaces. From the point of view of economy, this looks quite understandable, but taking into account the above facts, this approach can turn into certain problems - a protective edge should be present in all places where there is an open internal structure of chipboard.

If you have purchased furniture with unprotected edges, you can do their own edging at home. To do this, you do not need to have any special equipment - the edge can be glued with an ordinary iron.

Do not be lazy to spend a few minutes on this operation - you will reliably protect yourself and your furniture and significantly extend its service life. Next, we will analyze in detail how to properly glue the edge tape with your own hands.

Edging materials

Edging of exposed furniture surfaces can be done with various decorative elements that differ in material quality, appearance and, accordingly, cost.

How to glue the edge with an iron

Edging in production is done with a tape with a clean base. The adhesive composition is applied to it during installation at a high temperature, which ensures the formation of a thin even layer. In order to glue the edge, several rollers are used, pressing it tightly to the base of the chipboard. Then special cutters cut the tape to the size of the part, remove the remnants of glue and base material and grind the joint until a smooth and beautiful surface is obtained.

You can also glue the edge at home. To do this, you need to use a tape with already applied adhesive composition... Further, the process largely repeats industrial edging, since it is carried out in the same way:

You can find out more about the process of gluing the edge on chipboard in the video below:

It is somewhat easier to glue the U-shaped profile on the end of the chipboard. We have already discussed this method earlier. Such an edge is much stronger than melamine, it bends quite easily and reliably protects against damage.

The presence of micro-gaps between the edge of the U-profile and the front surface of the chipboard does not allow gluing it in the kitchen or in the bathroom, therefore, this material is mainly used for edging with office furniture.

Chipboard edging, of course, is best done in the factory. In production, you can order a tape from any material, including plastic, PVC and other modern composite materials. Machine edging for perfect evenness and precision decorative cladding, but requires certain costs. If the main task is to keep within a predetermined small budget, applying melamine tape with your own hands will allow you to combine acceptable quality and minimum price.

We glue the edge on the chipboard

For a 0.4 mm edge, a knife or ruler is sufficient (similar to melamine). For a 2 mm edge, an edge router is required.

Curly () cutter, walking along the edge with a bearing, cuts off its protruding part.

The result is a slightly rough cut that needs to be polished.

To do this, make a few vigorous movements along the edge with a piece of felt. Warming up, it evens out roughness.

As a result, such an even edge turns out to be no worse than on professional equipment.

Although more expensive and longer. The technique, of course, is handicraft, but it has the right to life.

How to beautifully seal the edge of the chipboard? Finishing the end of the polished board, processing the laminated edge. Chipboard edgebanding techniques. (10+)

Chipboard end decoration

Chipboard edging is necessary in the manufacture of furniture. We bring to your attention materials for making furniture with your own hands.

Chipboard edge structure

Chipboard consists of sawdust mixed with glue and compressed. Moreover, the process of pressing and drying the glue is organized in such a way as to obtain dense surfaces and a rather rotten middle. This is done so that the chipboard is springy and does not break. If the entire array of a sheet is made dense, then the sheet will be pricked from a very slight deformation.

Usually we do not come into contact with the internal structure of the chipboard sheet. It is fenced off from us by dense surfaces and a laminated coating (if the chipboard is laminated). But the butt reveals this charm to us. Our goal is to close it from the eyes of those who will admire our product.

In addition to aesthetic, there are several more reasons why it is necessary to close the chipboard end, even in places that are inaccessible to the eye. Moisture. Particleboard is very sensitive to moisture, even to a small amount of moisture absorbed from the air. The surfaces of laminated chipboard do not allow moisture to pass through, the surface of polished chipboard is usually painted and also does not allow moisture to pass through. The edge should also be moisture-proof. Mushrooms. Microorganisms and insects that decompose wood can penetrate through the end of the slab. Harmful substances. The harmful substances contained in the glue and the sawdust themselves, from which the chipboard is made, do not penetrate the laminated or painted surface, but will enter the room through the end.

Options for edging, chipboard edge decoration

The options for processing the end (edging) depend, first of all, on how the sheet itself will be finished. If the sheet is laminated, and it is planned to use its laminated surface completely, that is, not to paint or cover with anything, then on the visible edges it is necessary to glue an edge tape corresponding to the type of the laminated surface, and fill in the hidden edges and glue it with a construction bandage. If the sheet is laminated or sanded, and it is planned to paint it, then the sheet itself must be primed, its edges must be puttied, sealed with a construction bandage with an approach to the plane of the sheet, the bandage must be putty and painted.

End face of laminated chipboard

Visible end

When cutting such a chipboard, you need to be very careful, use a sawing tool that leaves an even edge. Laminating chipboard when cutting is very fond of crumbling and chipping. If this happens, then it will not be possible to correct the situation. I don't know how to beautifully fix such a chip. We'll either have to put up with it, or saw off a new workpiece. Next, I recommend filling the edge. Many people glue the edging tape immediately to the sawn edge, but I tried this and refused it. The tape does not adhere well to such a surface. I putty the edge with acrylic universal putty. After drying, skin with medium grain sandpaper. I do this very carefully so as not to chip the laminate with chipboard. Then I stick the tape on the leveled surface.

I will dwell on the types of ribbons - edges. Usually it is paper (in the generalized sense of the word 'paper') tape and plastic. The paper tape is sold with hot melt adhesive already applied. It is glued with an iron. I will not dwell on this process in detail, there are enough materials on this topic on the Internet. You need to pay attention to the quality of the tape and glue. If the tape subsequently lags behind, then it can be glued with ordinary glue, this will not be noticeable. The plastic tape is glued with glue. The adhesive may already have been applied to plastic tape and covered with a paper protective strip. This is a bad case. Such glue adheres very poorly. Do not buy plastic edging with adhesive already applied.

What kind of glue to glue? It is best to use a glue recommended by the edgebanding manufacturer. But, note, it is worth making sure that there is a solvent for this glue that allows you to remove excess glue and not damage the plastic border and the coating of the chipboard sheet itself. Then it will be convenient for you.

How to glue the edge on chipboard and PVC

According to the instructions for the glue, you will glue the edge, and remove the protruding glue with a swab moistened with the specified solvent. Difficulties can arise if the adhesive dissolves only with those solvents that dissolve the plastic. It is impossible to remove excess glue with such a solvent, such glue is not suitable for us.

Decoration of the invisible end

We put it on. Skin with medium grain sandpaper. Carefully so as not to chip, as in the previous case. In principle, we can stop at this. but better with glue PVA glue a strip of construction bandage to the filled end face. It (the bandage) will prevent the putty from splitting and spilling. Usually the bandage is slightly wider than the edge. We glue the bandage so that the edge is in the middle of it. When the glue dries, with a sharp knife, carefully so as not to damage the laminated chipboard, remove the excess bandage.

Chipboard end for painting

In this case, the cut can be carried out without much fear, since chips and defects can be easily corrected with a putty. If we work with laminated chipboard, but still want to paint it, then we apply a primer to the entire product. Soil GF-021 or Otex from Tikkurila is suitable. If a sanded chipboard is used, then priming is not necessary, although it is desirable. We putty the butt. I use a fine filler acrylic filler. Skins. We should get a smooth rectangular edge. Sometimes this requires several iterations of sanding - putty. When the edge suits us, it needs to be fixed, otherwise it will break off or crack. Putty - the material is not very durable and reliable. We glue the edge with a construction bandage 4 - 5 cm wider than the butt end. We use PVA glue. We bend the bandage so that it sticks to the end of the chipboard and goes onto the upper and lower planes. See picture. After the glue has dried, we putty the building bandage with a finely dispersed acrylic putty... Usually one putty is used for all these jobs. We especially pay attention to the strip where the bandage ends and the chipboard itself begins. Here it is necessary to putty especially carefully so that after sanding and painting the transition is absolutely not noticeable. Dry the putty, skin with fine sandpaper, paint.

Despite the monstrous view on the diagram on an enlarged scale, in reality, the presence of a bandage and putty on the end of the chipboard, if everything is done correctly, is completely invisible.

PVC furniture edge

Furniture edge PVC - a narrow strip of polyvinyl chloride, which is used for pasting laminated chipboard ends. It not only protects chipboard from damage, but is also a decorative element.

Melamine edging is also widely used in furniture production. But since it is made from paper impregnated with saline solution, it has a number of disadvantages. Among them are small thickness, fragility and susceptibility to mechanical damage. That is why many furniture and home furnishing manufacturers prefer PVC tape.

PVC edgebanding has the following advantages:

high level of strength;
reliable protection against chips, moisture, which allows you to increase the service life of products;
high resistance to chemical compositions, ultraviolet radiation, ignition;
relatively low cost.

The PVC edge is a narrow tape made of polyvinyl chloride. Edging tape is an elegant addition to furniture structures from laminated chipboard. It protects products from physical, chemical and biological damage, while at the same time giving the furniture an elegance, be it a table top, cabinet or any other product. It is enough to paste over the ends of the furniture to make it look finished. PVC edgeband can work wonders even with ordinary furniture, giving it notes of sophistication and sophistication. There is a huge variety of colors, shades, decor and textures, so you can use this decorative element to any furniture. In addition, the edging material will add furniture performance characteristics protecting furniture from moisture and reducing resin evaporation.

Furniture edge is an easy-to-use and very practical decorative element that facilitates the use of laminated chipboard furniture.

High-quality edge banding gives furniture products durability, reliability and strength. The tape is easy to clean as it is moisture resistant. The PVC Facing Edge is additionally coated with acrylic resin so that it is not exposed to any stress.

Several types of tapes are used in the production of furniture and components on an industrial scale, including ABS, adhesive-based edgebands and PVC. If it comes on exclusive designer furniture or premium class furniture, then original edging materials are used, including aluminum edging, high gloss, 3D edging, etc.

PVC products made in China are rightfully considered one of the best edging tapes. This edging material is distinguished by its special aesthetics and functionality, as well as a long service life.

China PVC edging is manufactured in accordance with the latest achievements and in accordance with all sanitary and hygienic standards. Furniture edge China is considered the best option for furniture made of chipboard and decoration of an office or home.

Our company offers a wide range of PVC edgebands of different textures and colors. Based on your choice, we will offer you the glue that most reliably attaches the edging material to the furniture. Of course, the issue of the accuracy of furniture decoration will directly depend on the quality of the equipment and the qualifications of the staff. If you want to choose a unique stone surface or a classic wood texture, then we will help you choose required option edge tape.

Pasting with a plastic edge on the ends of a chipboard.

You just need to specify the texture, decor and color of the material, in accordance with your taste preferences. You can literally transform the furniture in your home with the edge banding tape. The products, as well as the technology of their production, meet the highest standards of quality, safety and environmental friendliness.

We offer you a wide range of PVC edgebands at an attractive price.

Having pasted the edge of the chipboard with melamine edge, do not doubt that the processed surface will look worse than pasting the edge on a low-quality machine - if you glue the edge correctly, in accordance with the algorithm, the result is brilliant.

What is the edge glued to?

To parts in contact with the floor.
Elements that will be subjected to mechanical stress in the future.
To internal details such as parts drawers chest of drawers or bedside tables, laminated plates.

What you need for edgebanding

Iron.
Cutter knife or clerical knife, necessary thing, can be used both when collecting furniture and when collecting various elements, for example, a mosquito net.
A piece of felt or a damp piece of cloth - a cloth.
Sandpaper, or even better - a bar covered with sandpaper, will be more convenient to work with.
Parts holder or vise.
Actually the edge itself.

How is the preparation for pasting the edge

So that the final result of your work looks impeccable and looks quite aesthetically pleasing when gluing the edge, a good iron should be used, preferably Teflon as the basis of the surface. Make sure that the ironing surface of the iron is clean - if there is any dirt, they must be removed. If you have picked up this tool, you can start pasting for the example of the shelves of the wardrobe.

For the most convenient work, do not use ordinary knives, a cutter is ideal. If you do not have such a knife, then you need to find an old knife blade and construct a cutter from it yourself.

You can make a block yourself - you need to take even an ordinary piece of chipboard and paste over it with sandpaper on one side.

A melamine edging with an already prepared layer of glue on it is for sale, but if you are "lucky" to purchase an edging without adhesive coating, you must independently apply glue to it.

The holder can also be easily constructed independently from the remnants of chipboard, for this you need to take two small pieces of material and stuff them at a short distance from each other perpendicular to the base.

The process of pasting the edgebanding is carried out in stages.

After unwinding the coil, attach it to the end of the part, leaving a little edge for trimming.
How to glue PVC edge on chipboard at home

In the standard, the width of the edge is 2.1 cm, and the chipboard, as a rule, has a width of 1.6-1.8 cm, so there will also be a margin for trimming and rubbing the edges. In order not to do unnecessary work and not to cut the edge lengthwise from two edges, it is better to align it on one side, and then cut off the excess only on the other side.
After attaching the edge to the front, start heating and ironing it with an iron. Special attention it is worth paying to the edges of the ends - there it is necessary to iron it most carefully.
Details of small lengths are ironed entirely and immediately, while longer sections should be heated and ironed in parts - in sections of 40 centimeters. The end is cooled with felt or a damp cloth.
Based on the quality of the tape used, the heating temperature of the iron is selected and regulated. If everything is set correctly, then the iron glides directly over the surface, does not cling to anything and does not scratch the edge. If the heating is correct, then the adhesive under the edge will spread evenly. And if you overdo it too much and overheat the edge, then bubbles will go and the edge will have to be removed and thrown away.
If you nevertheless spoil some area, then in order to remove the spoiled material, you need to heat it up again and pry it off with a knife. After cleaning the surface, you can start gluing again.
If the edge is of high quality, then it will stick only after it has completely cooled down. Having found that the edge has completely cooled down, you can start trimming the excess. You can cut correctly by bending the edge, rubbing it with a bar until the chamfer is visible. white... Having seen the backing, you can already cut off unnecessary material.
After trimming, all edges are carefully and thoroughly rubbed with a bar with sandpaper. At this stage, the gluing of the melamine edgebanding is finished. And you can safely start installing the handles.

Today I tried again to glue a 0.4 mm PVC edge with an iron. My previous attempts failed (the edge melted before the glue, shrunk even at the lowest heat levels. In general, nothing worked). Based on these experiments, I concluded that this is not possible at all. I confess I was wrong - thanks to the guys - they convinced me. He picked up another iron - a newer one and again took up experiments.

Since I don't have a glue applicator, I decided to use the technique of applying glue from the melamine edge directly to the workpiece, which I also read about somewhere in the vastness of the cobweb. For work, I needed an iron (more precisely two - see below), a sanding block (best of all, not with an abrasive, but with felt - it will also flash in subsequent photos), a melamine edge - any color, a PVC edge (which we will glue) and a metal ruler or such a square I will give both types of edges in a larger manner (the photo shows that PVC is without glue, while melamine has a hot-melt layer applied).

To begin with, we fix the workpiece on a workbench, preferably vertically.

Then we apply a piece of melamine edge to it and smooth it with a hot iron (set the heating control to the second position).

Having ironed in one direction, we begin the movement of the iron in the other, tearing off the edge until the glue has cooled down.

We can see that the glue remains on the workpiece.

Another photo, more descriptive. It can be seen that there is almost no glue left on the melamine tape, while it is present on the blank.

Now we cut a piece of PVC tape to the desired length (with a small traditional margin)

First, I tried to glue it again with my old iron (letting it cool beforehand), the result is deplorable. The hem immediately shriveled.

Then I took up the next generation iron (which I squeezed out of my mother-in-law) and set it to the very minimum.

He moved the edging tape to the right so that the deformed piece did not lie on the surface to be treated and began to smooth it with an iron. The case is progressing more slowly than with.

Warming up in one direction, we begin to move with the iron in the return line, smoothing the edging tape after it with the palm of your hand.

Excess from the ends lends itself well to simple scissors.

The cut is perfectly flat and does not require additional finishing. (but if necessary, you can shuffle it a couple of times with a block of fine abrasive).

To trim overhangs on the edges, it is advisable to put the part horizontally .. Personally, this is much more convenient for me. They, as in the case of melamine, lend themselves well to the metal ruler, led at an angle shown in the photo.

The cut is a little rough. It should be polished.
This is done with a felt bar, with which we make several movements along the edge at an angle.

Turning the workpiece over, I found a non-glue area. Not pleasant, but not fatal.

We take up the iron again and press the unplugged area for 20-30 seconds.
Then we change the iron to a felt bar, with which we also press it until the glue cools.

The result is such a PVC-glued butt end.
This technique is quite suitable for large parts, especially when the melamine edging is not suitable and the edging is not available for some reason. But in time, it is quite costly.

Everyone knows a fact that often occurs during edgebanding - this is the melting of the PVC edge, especially for edges up to 1 mm thick.

There is the problem of wavy formation on the 2 mm thick edges after scraping, edge peeling from the part, 0.4 mm roughness of the edges, whiteness of the edges and many more problems.

It is necessary to understand what the reason is in each specific case deeper than to write off everything on the quality of the edges.

So, first you should consider edgebanding process, namely, the reasons for the appearance of marriage at this stage are detailed, we are talking about the use of exclusively PVC edges.

The process consists of several stages:

Gluing

Facing

Overhang milling

Cycling

Polishing

Bonding PVC edges.

Regardless of the type of machine, edge gluing is performed using glue - hot melt.

The likelihood of marriage at this stage is very high. In order to avoid problems, you must:

Carry out the most suitable settings by trial and experiment

Choose a suitable hot melt adhesive, taking into account the type of machine and operating temperature

Take into account the parameters of laminated chipboard (moisture, looseness)

The edge melts when glued.

If you also use a feed rate of 2 - 5 m / min, you should apply an edge that is more heat-resistant, and it must be borne in mind that permissible temperatures Suppliers' declared edgebands are reduced if the adhesive is applied directly to the tape and not to the part. Recommend to change working temperature glue bath.

After gluing the edges of 0.4 mm, the surface tuberosity appears:

A very common problem, which is also not always related to the quality of the edges. As a rule, it consists in the wrong selection of glue - hot melt.

The fact is that the density of chipboard strongly affects the gluing process, and depending on this parameter, you need to choose the right glue - melt. Bumpiness on the surface appears at a low density of particle board with the simultaneous use of unfilled melts.

The problem can be corrected by using the filled adhesive at an increased consumption. In this case, not only tuberosity will disappear, but also the strength of gluing surfaces will increase.

When gluing, it forms uneven surface due to the indentation of the chipboard structure:

This problem can be easily solved. Just slide out the extra pinch rollers.

Too noticeable seam between the edge and the end face of the part.

When gluing PVC edges with a thickness of 1 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm or more, it is recommended to use unfilled melt glue, then the seam will be as thin as possible and almost invisible, in addition, it is necessary to carefully select the tone of the glue to visually merge the glue seam of the edge and chipboard.

The edge is melted on curved parts.

This problem is also worth looking at in terms of the type of equipment used and the type of adhesive.

So, for example, for manual machines, when the part moves around a stationary glue unit, it is recommended to use melts with a wide temperature range.

For equipment with automatic feeding, when the workpiece moves around the glue unit at a constant speed of 10 - 30 m / min, adhesives with a small temperature range can be used. Application polyurethane adhesives recommended when the adhesive is manually moved around the product and the adhesive is applied directly to the edge band.

Overhang milling, scraping.

After removing the overhangs, a wavy end remains on the edge.

This problem occurs when the tool (cutter knives) are dull or the rotation speed is insufficient for uniform removal.

Increase the rotational speed of the cutter and decrease the feed rate of the edge. The same can happen when scrambling: a "wave" on the edge is formed if the scraper (knife) is not sharp enough.

Chips have formed at the edges of the edge.

Chips on the PVC edge after milling do not indicate that the edge material is very hard or that the chalk content is very high.

They may indicate that the rotational speed of the cutter is not set correctly and the knives need to be adjusted or sharpened. Perhaps the problem is in both at the same time.

Polishing.

In order for the edge of the edge to be well polished, to remove all the remnants of chips, glue, etc., we recommend polishing along the radius with a cloth polishing wheel, applying a separating liquid to the surface of the chipboard.

Conclusion:

Based on the above, we recommend that you do not immediately write off a bad edgebanding when changing a supplier.

In order to make sure that the edge is not suitable, you need to check its use in several modes / machines, check if the temperature, feed rate are set correctly, take into account the composition of the glue and much more.

Of course, the quality of the edges primarily affects the wrapping process, based on many years of experience in the supply of edgebands, we recommend that you base your choice of materials not only on cost, but also on other characteristics.

So, in order not to spoil the product / part at the edge banding stage, it is necessary:

Choose a reliable partner for the supply of edging

Pay attention to how long the importer is on the market

How many suppliers / factories does the importer have (to avoid quality differences from batch to batch).

We offer to solve your problems at the edge banding stage.

You will be able to use the LUXE edgeband without reconfiguring the equipment, save without loss of quality by using the STANDARD PVC edgeband. ().

Joiner's knife. In principle, absolutely any, but not necessarily very sharp. Otherwise, there is a high probability of cutting the laminated layer on the chipboard itself.

But the following details have to be done. Of course, if such gluing of the edge is not an isolated one. So, the guide. The width between the jaws is 18 mm, since standard sheet exactly 16 mm thick.

Bar with a layer soft tissue... I folded several layers of cashmere from an old coat; such a product has served faithfully for more than one year.

And the knob is just for ease of use.

And the same is on the bar with sandpaper.

True, just it had to be changed several times over the years several times, so short self-tapping screws with a large cap for fixing are just ideal.

That's all, let's get started.
We heat the iron strongly. As we iron the linen, we also warm the edge, and then rub it with effort with a bar with a cloth. It stuck, but its size is larger

therefore, we cut it off with a knife, necessarily from ourselves, and we start from the middle.

So we cut off from all sides. We glue the edge on the other sides of the part.

Now we clean off the remnants with a bar with sandpaper (do not get carried away, it will be enough to hold it once without pressing it). One detail is ready

we do the same with the rest.
Moreover, peeling off this paper edge is as easy as shelling pears: reheat it with an iron and remove the damaged or simply unnecessary paper edge for some reason.

That's all the wisdom.

When making or repairing furniture, craftsmen have to trim the edge of the product. For this, a special PVC end edge is most often used. Several popular methods for gluing the specified frame to chipboard are described below in this article.

How to mount a self-adhesive PVC edge

The PVC edgeband is sold in two versions. In the first version, a layer of glue is applied to its lower part at the factory. In another version, the edge is sold without it, and you have to apply the glue yourself.

If the material has an adhesive layer, it should be warmed up first. After heat treatment, the glue will become sticky and the edge will easily stick into place. This is done with an iron, which must be switched to the "synthetic" mode.

The edge is attached to the end to which it must be glued. In this case, the edge completely overlaps the end face of the workpiece. Then gently, using an iron, the edge is heated. But you shouldn't do it directly. Better to iron the product through a layer of newspaper.

It is easy to glue such material. As it heats up, the glue dissolves and as soon as this happens, the iron moves on. The edge itself is well pressed against the workpiece and smoothed. This is done until the edge is glued to the part along its entire length.

Installation of an edge with a construction hair dryer

By the way, you can glue the edge without an iron. Sometimes it is more convenient to use a construction hairdryer. To do this, the edge must be heated from the back side, where there is a layer of glue. When the glue becomes sticky, the edge is applied in place, pressed and smoothed.

How to glue the PVC edge on the "Moment"

If the product does not have an adhesive layer, you need to take "Moment" and apply it yourself. But before applying glue, you should check the end of the workpiece for quality. There should be no debris, dust and sawdust here. The butt must be clean and sturdy.

The glue is applied to both surfaces at once. That is, to the PVC edge and to the end of the workpiece. In this case, one should not rush. You need to wait until the glue begins to set and only after that the edge can be glued to its place with high quality.

While gluing the frame, it is strongly pressed against the workpiece and smoothed. It will not hurt to roll the edge with a hard roller.

How to remove excess edge

If the edge stuck well the first time, you can proceed to the final stage. If not, the procedure is repeated. You need to apply more glue to the problem area and press it hard or roll it with a roller.

How to remove unnecessary things? The fact is that the frame is usually wider than the workpiece itself, so its excess width must be removed. This is done with a regular file by neatly chipping away.

The file is taken with both hands and the plane is pressed against the protruding edge. At the same time, it breaks off and becomes flush with the workpiece. The frame should be pricked towards the workpiece, and not from it - this way there is less risk that the edge will be damaged. However, if the PVC edge was glued with high quality, it pricks perfectly and this part of the work never causes any particular complications.

Final material grinding

To finish the job of gluing the PVC edge, you need to take fine sandpaper and sand the flaws, if any. Everything! The frame is glued and ready to use.
