Avoid costly mistakes by learning the most common edgebanding problems and how to prevent them.
Edge issues can slow down your shop and ruin a good job. In this post, we cover five common edgebanding problems—and how the right materials and setup can help you avoid them.
1. Poor Adhesion: This is the most common issue and often comes down to incompatible glue or low-quality edge band material. If the back of the edgeband isn’t properly primed or if your glue temperature is off, adhesion will fail. Always check glue line compatibility and ensure the coil surface is clean and receptive. CT Edge Band’s products are tested for strong adhesion across major hot-melt systems used in U.S. shops, helping you avoid delamination callbacks.
2. Chipping or Splitting: Low-density or brittle edge bands can crack under trimmers, especially in colder climates or if tensioned improperly. Choosing edge bands with consistent material density and flexibility is key. Our coils are formulated for controlled trimming, with high resilience to edge stress. This means fewer edge repairs, fewer adjustments, and smoother finishes—even on tight-radius corners.
3. Poor Coil Handling: Edge bands stored improperly or coiled loosely can lead to feeding issues and misalignment. We often see this in imported coils with poor packaging or no core. Our edge bands are packed with reinforced cores, clearly labeled, and tightly wound to minimize coil memory. Combine that with labeled tone codes and your shop can cut downtime in setup and avoid edge misfeeds or bubbling caused by coil tension.
