Secrets of applying PVC edges at the edge block. The secrets of applying the edges of PVC on the stage of the edge banding the edge in the furniture what to do

In this article, we will look at the easiest option - this is a twinkling of 2 mm edges with a predetermined thermoclaim. You can order such an edge either in the supplier company or in the workshop. Poster to its value will be 2-5 rubles per meter.

For sticking such an edge, we need a technical hairdryer (thermopystoletole), a milling mill (desirable edge), a hawk mill, a sharp knife, a file and a hb glove.

Fix the item vertically or horizontally - as you are more convenient (it is desirable to fix it with clamps).

First, we warmly warm the tip (about 5 cm) edges so that the glue melted, and the edge itself became soft.

We apply the edge and, having warmed the glue with the flow of air, together with the end of the part, smooth the edge with the hand in the glove. Warming up the site is about 10 cm long, lay the hairdryer and more carefully stroke the site and so each time. The main thing is not to overheat the edge (the overhaul edge is easily beaten - just itself - and in this case there will be visible places of beggars in the form of waves).

We look at the glue seams again, the uncrowned places warming up the hair dryer again (and it is necessary to warm with the front side, having warmed the entire edge) and smooth to full fit.

Go to cutting sinks. If you have an edge mill, then everything is fine, if only a universal manual, then it will require refinement, because It is not possible to put it on the edge of the workpiece - sink interferes.

I screwed a piece of LDSP to the sole, which made it possible to raise the sole only on the one hand.

Then I, of course, made myself a normal edge - I will use it in the lesson.

First, practice on trimming, to accurately adjust the cutout cutters, otherwise, risk damageing the laminate. So, for example:

The milling milling mill (radius of rounding 3 mm) neatly, not swinging on the harvesting planet, cutting off the excess edges.

I turn over the other side and repeat all the manipulations for smoothing the jambs and cutting the soles.

The remains from the ends are cut as follows: we carry out with a pressing a sharp knife on the edge, forming a scratch. We put the workpiece to the edge of the table on the line of scratches, after which we are shaking it down.

Or screaming a piece from the end with a knife with a knife (here the main thing is not to scratch the adjacent edge perpendicular to the dipped).

Survegencies and roughness are run by a file.

As a result, something like this should turn out. For clarity - the straight (short) piece of the edge was glued on the machine, and the long (which covers the bend) - with your hands. The difference is practically not visible.

(LDSP) edges of parts without processing have an unsightly appearance. To put them in order, the furniture edge and profile is used. It is more convenient to work with them on special equipment, but also with your own hands at home can also be achieved good results.

Types of furniture edges

One of the most popular materials for the manufacture of furniture - LDSP. Its disadvantage - ugly edges that remain when cutting parts. Here are these edges and masks the furniture edge. Make it from different materials, respectively, it has different properties and price.

Paper or melamine edges

The cheapest option is the edges of paper with melamine impregnation. Paper take high density, impregnate melamine to increase strength and glue to papyrus paper. Papyrus can be single-layer (cheaper) and two-layer. So that the melamnoy coating is not erased, everything is covered with a layer of varnish. To make more convenient, it is applied to the opposite side of the melamine furniture edge to the opposite side of the melamine furniture edge. When working it is necessary only this composition is slightly heatting and pressing good to the end.

Paper or melamine edge - the cheapest, but also the most short-lived finish of furniture ends

The thickness of paper edge ribbons is small - 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm are the most common. Thicker it makes no sense, and it will be expensive.

This type of edge is characterized by the fact that it is very good, when flexing it does not break. But its mechanical strength is very low - the edge is quickly engaged. Because if it is used, only on those surfaces that are not subject to load. For example, on the back of the shelves, countertops, etc.

From PVC

Recently, the wide distribution of polyvinyl chloride is used and in the production of edges for furniture. A tape of a certain width and thickness is formed from painted into a certain color of the mass. Its facial surface may be smooth monophonic, and may be textured - with imitation of wood fibers. The number of colors is large, so it is easy to choose the appropriate.

The furniture edge of PVC is the most popular material that is used and homemade craftsmen and professionals. This is due to a relatively low price and good operational properties:

The furniture edge of PVC is available in different thickness and widths. Thickness - from 0.4 mm to 4 mm, width from 19 mm to 54 mm. The thickness is chosen depending on the intended mechanical load or the sighteave, and the width is slightly larger (at least 2-3 mm) than the thickness of the work being processed. There are furniture PVC edge with adhesive composition, there is no. Both can be glued at home (about it below).

This type of edge material and cons: not very wide temperature mode: from -5 ° C to + 45 ° C. For this reason, the furniture on the winter can not be left in winter, as well as when pasting with heating, it is necessary to be neat - so as not to melt the polymer.

From ABS (ABS) plastic

This polymer does not contain heavy metals, has high strength and durability. The disadvantage can be considered a high price, so it is extremely rare, although it has excellent properties:

This type of edge can be matte, glossy, semi-man. There are also options imitating various wood breeds. In general, this material is more convenient in operation and is more durable in operation.

Veneer edge

Veneer is a thin saw cut, painted and molded in the form of a ribbon. This furniture edge is used in production when cutting slices of veneered products. Working with this material requires certain skills, and the material is expensive.

Veneer - not the most popular edge material

Acrylic edge or 3d

It is made from transparent acrylic. A drawing is applied on the back of the band. The polymer layer is at the top of the polymer gives it the volume, which is why the 3D edge is called. Used in the manufacture of furniture in an unusual design.

Profiles for processing edge of furniture

You can separate the edge of furniture not only by the edge ribbon. There are still furniture profiles that are fixed mechanically. They have two sections - T-shaped or P-shaped (called still C-shaped).

Under T-shaped furniture profiles in the treated edge, the grooves are milling. A profile is clogged with furniture (rubber) in it. The edges are trimmed under 45 ° so that the angle looks attractive. Before the ideal state is brought by small emery paper. This type of profiles is released from PVC and aluminum, with the same installation method they look very different, and the differences are essential.

In width, they are under LDSP 16 mm and 18 mm. There are both wide, but they are much less common, as they work with such a material less.

C- or p-shaped profiles are most often mounted on glue. They are missing the edge, then the plastic profile is put on, pressed and fixed well. These PVC profiles are soft and hard. Hard worse bent and hinder the curvilinear edges are difficult. But have greater strength.

If it still needs to "plant" a hard C-shaped furniture profile for bending, heated by a construction hairdryer, then give the desired shape and fix with painting tape until the adhesive dry.

Glue furniture edge with your own hands

There are two technologies for gluing the furniture edge ribbon. The first is for those in which glue is applied on the back. In this case, iron or construction hairdryer is required. The second is for sticker tapes without glue. In this case, a good universal glue is needed, which can glue plastics and wood products and a furniture roller, a piece of felt or a soft rack so that you can press the cut to the slice.

A little about how thick the edge is glued on which details. Those edges that are not visible in GOST can not glue at all, but mostly they are trying to process them in order to absorb less in the moisture chipboard, as well as to reduce the evaporation of formaldehyde. These edges glue the melamine tape or PVC 0.4 mm. Also treated and edges of drawers (not facades).

The front ends of the facade and drawers are better to use PVC 2 mm, and on visible shelves - PVC 1 mm. The color is chosen or in the tone of the main surface or "in the contrast".

How to finally glue a kant with glue

The adhesive composition is applied to the melamine edge, it happens on PVC. If PVC was chosen, it is easier to start with thin - they are easier to process them, the melamine any glimpse simply.

We take the iron and fluoroplastic nozzle on it. If there are no nozzles, a dense cotton fabric is suitable - so as not to cut the tape, but to melt glue. For this purpose, a construction hairdryer is suitable. I put the iron about the "Two" until it heat cut a piece of ribbon. Length - for a couple of centimeters more processed details.

We apply the edge into the part, spread, smooth. From both sides, small pieces should hang. We take the iron and, through the nozzle or cloth, stroke the edge, warming until the glue is melted. It is necessary to warm up evenly throughout the surface. After the whole edge sticks, let it cool. Then begin the processing of edges.

It is possible to cut the edge with a knife, and both acute and stupid side. Someone uses the usual metal ruler, it is more convenient to someone with a stainless steel spatula.

So, we take the tool you selected, cut off hanging edges. They are cut close to the material. Then sliced \u200b\u200bexcess along the part. Melamine and thin plastic perfectly cut with a knife. If PVC edge is thicker - 0.5-0.6 mm and more, difficulties may already arise. Such edges can be if it is. This guarantees a good result in a short time. Longer processing will last if you use sandpaper, but the result may not be worse.

One important point: when sticking thin edges, the cut part should be smooth, without protrusions and depressions. The material is plastic, which is why all defects are visible. Therefore, it is pre-running emery paper by cutting, after which it is thoroughly distmitted, degrees. Only after that you can glue.

PVC ribbon adhesion (without glue on the back side)

In this case, the method of self-adhesive PVC edges need universal glue and a piece of felt or cloth. We read the instructions for glue, carry out all the actions on the recommendation. For example, for the "moment" glue, you must apply on the surface and distribute the composition, wait 15 minutes, strongly press the bonded surfaces.

Apply glue and wait is not a problem. To tightly press the edge to the slice, you can use a wooden bar wrapped with felt. Instead of a bar, you can take a construction grater, on its sole, too, consolidate felt. In the extreme case, a dense tissue can be collapsed in several layers and this is pressed to the tape to the surface.

The selected tool is pressed to the laid edge, pressed all weight, pressing it to the surface of the chipboard. The movements are stroking. So stroke the whole edge, achieving very dense fit. In this form, the item leaves for a while - so that the glue "grab". Then you can proceed to the edge processing.

Everyone knows a fact that often occurs during edging - this is the boost of PVC edge, especially for edges with a thickness of up to 1 mm.

There is a problem of wave-like formation on the edges with a thickness of 2 mm after cyclishing, detaching the edge from the part, the hem of the edges of 0.4 mm, the blastiness of the edges and many more problems.

To understand what the reason in each particular case is needed deeper than to write off everything on the quality of the edges.

So, you should first consider edge-banding processNamely the reasons for the appearance of marriage at this stage in detail, we are talking about the use of exclusively edges of PVC.

The process consists of several stages:

Blind

Torlet

Milling Svezov

Cyclishing

Polishing

PVC edge gluing.

Regardless of the type of machine tools, the gluing edges is made using glue - melt.

The probability of marriage at this stage is very large. In order to avoid problems, it is necessary:

Conduct the most suitable settings by the method of sample and experiment

Choose suitable glue melt, taking into account the type of machine and operating temperature

Take into account the parameters of LDSP (humidity, looseness)

The edge melts when sticking.

If you use the feed rate of 2 - 5 m / min, you should apply the edge more heat-resistant, and it is necessary to take into account that the permissible temperatures stated by the edges suppliers decrease if the glue is applied directly to the tape, and not on the part. We recommend changing the operating temperature of the glue bath.

After sticking the edges of 0.4 mm, the peg of the surface is manifested:

A very common problem, which is also not always associated with the quality of the edges. As a rule, it lies in the incorrect selection of glue - melt.

The fact is that the DSP density strongly affects the gluing process, and depending on this parameter, you need to choose the right glue - the melt. The tubes on the surface appears at a low DSP density with the simultaneous use of the melts not filled with type.

It is possible to correct the problem by using a filled adhesive with an increased flow rate. It will disappear not only the bug, but also the strength of gluing surfaces will increase.

When gluing, an uneven surface is formed due to indenting the structure of the chipboard:

Such a problem is easily solved. Just move away additional clamping rollers.

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

When sticking the edges of PVC with a thickness of 1 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm or more recommended to use the glue melt of an unfilled type, then the seam will be as thin and almost not noticeable, in addition, it is necessary to carefully select the adhesive tone for the visual fusion of the adhesive seam edge and chipboard.

The edge is bred on curvilinear details.

It is also worth viewing this problem from the point of view of the type of equipment used and the type of adhesive substance.

For example, for manual type machines, when the part moves around a fixed adhesive assembly, it is recommended to use melt with a wide temperature range.

For equipment with automatic feed when the billet moves around the adhesive assembly with a constant speed of 10-30 m / min, you can use adhesives with a small temperature range. The use of polyurethane adhesives is recommended when the adhesive node manually moves around the product, and the glue is applied directly on the edge tape.

Milling sinks, cycloying.

After removing the sinks, a wave-like end on the edge remains.

Such a problem occurs if the tool (knives of the cutter) fastened or the speed of rotation is insufficient for uniform removal.

Increase the speed of rotation of the cutter and reduce the edge feed rate. The same can occur when cyclishing: "Wave" on the edge is formed if the cycle (knife) is not acute enough.

At the edges of the edge were formed chips.

Squares on the edge of PVC after milling do not say that the edge material is very hard or the content of the chalk is very high.

They may indicate that the speed of rotation of the cutter is incorrect and need to adjust the knives or sharpening them. Perhaps the problem is both at the same time.

Polishing.

In order for the edge edge to be well polished, all the remains of chips are removed, the adhesive and so on, we recommend polishing along the radius with a tissue polishing circle with the applying fluid to the surface.

Conclusion:

Based on the above described, we recommend that you immediately change the supplier not to write off a bad edge bandage.

In order to make sure that the edge does not fit, it is necessary to test its use on several modes / machines, check whether the temperature, feed rate, take into account the composition of the adhesive and much more.

Of course, the quality of the edges primarily affects the process of lining, based on many years of experience in the supply of edge ribbons, we recommend that you choose the materials to be based not only on the cost, but also other characteristics.

So, so that it is not to spoil the product / part at the stage of the edge banding it is necessary:

Select a reliable partner for edge supplies

Pay attention how much importer works on the market

How many suppliers / factories have an importer (to avoid quality difference from the party to the party).

We suggest solving your problems at the edge blocking.

You can, without reconfiguring equipment, use the "suite" edge, save without losses in quality, using the edge of PVC "Standard". ().

We are pleased to solve all the problems that arise, and in the case of replacing the color in the warehouse program / in production, make a return in full.

We will be happy to become for you not just a supplier of edge materials, but a reliable partner, which seeks to help develop your business.
