werte Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hi all I have made some large wardrobe doors out of 18mm black laminate (well the brand is laminex). I have applied 1mm edging tape (also black) to the door edges, but unfortunately my edge bander always leaves a 0.5mm glue line between the edging tape and door edge. When I use the bander on white melamine with white edging tape this is not visible at all. But on the black, it is evident, especially given these doors are 2.4m high. I've tried methylated spirits to clean the excess glue off. I don't want to dye the glue pot, because it will be a nightmare to clean later. Are there any tips that people use to hide the glue line?

BillyJack Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 What kind of edge bender, self glue, pellets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werte Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes it's a glue pot type with pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werte Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 It's an old Brandt edge bander, I have been adjusting it for days, if I put less glue on the board the banding doesn't stick... I think the only thing I can do is try to mask it once it's on the door... I've tried a permanent marker with some thinners, but wondering if someone has a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
