When performing edge banding in low-temperature winter conditions, you may encounter some common problems. Here are some possible problem analyses and corresponding solutions:
1. The edge banding is not firmly bonded
Problem cause: Low temperature will affect the viscosity of the hot melt adhesive, resulting in weak bonding of the edge banding.
Solution: Use hot melt adhesive specifically suitable for low-temperature environments, or heat the edge banding and the furniture surface in advance before construction to ensure firm bonding.
2. The edge banding becomes brittle or easily broken
Problem cause: Low temperature will make the edge banding material brittle and prone to breakage.
Solution: Place the edge banding in a room temperature environment to restore its softness properly before construction, and avoid operating in an overly cold environment to avoid breakage.
3. The edge banding cannot be fitted
Problem cause: Low temperature makes the edge banding hard and difficult to bend and fit the edge of the furniture.
Solution: Use tools such as a hot air gun to heat and soften the edge banding to facilitate fitting the edge of the furniture.
4. The edge banding bubbles
Problem cause: The hot melt adhesive cures slowly at low temperatures, which can easily cause bubbles under the edge banding.
Solution: When using hot melt adhesive, increase the temperature appropriately to speed up the curing speed, and use tools to gently press to remove bubbles during installation.
5. Edge banding color change
Problem cause: Low temperature environment may cause edge banding color change or unevenness.
Solution: When selecting edge banding, consider choosing materials with low temperature resistance to avoid color change problems.
6. Edge banding shrinkage
Problem cause: In low temperature environment, the shrinkage rate of edge banding may increase, resulting in inaccurate size after installation.
Solution: Check the size of edge banding before installation and leave appropriate margin to prevent shrinkage causing insufficient size.
When performing edge banding in low temperature environment in winter, it is necessary to pay attention to selecting materials and tools suitable for low temperature environment, and take corresponding measures to deal with possible problems to ensure the smooth progress and reliable quality of edge banding process.
