Review on Edge Preglued Adhesive Perfection Application by Trevor French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The edge band is glued.

This is a high quality edging tape. Be especially careful to measure the edge width VS of the width required for your project. This edge is not ideal for 3/4" projects. If you are an expert you might be able to handle a 3/4" project but absolutely no snagging (see photo). My project is a 1/2". thick MDF which I will layer to use as a reference.This border works fine and the corners stick together easily.Some reviews complain that the glued parts are visible or too close together making the edge hard to work or unusable .1.) All edges of this length have many glued pieces.There will never be a 250ft tree specially cut and milled to create an edge.2.) Where this edge is glued there is a very wide zig zag, about 1 inch (see the strip on your face and look for it. In the photo you can see the glue on the raw edge. I had to get good lighting and tilt the strip at an angle once the edge is glued and sanded lightly with a flat block (emphasis on LIGHT) with 400, 600 or 800 grit sandpaper, it cannot be seen (see photo where my finger is pointing). glue that is not visible). The only problem that can arise from a problem with the adhesive part is if you don't use anything between the iron and the edge tape. As with any binding, when you bind with high pressure, some adhesive may rise to the surface. This can make the surface sticky enough to remove film or dirt from the iron. The problem is the dirt on the iron, not the edge. It is recommended to use wax paper between the iron and the tape. If wax paper has been used multiple times, replace it with a new piece. 3.) I measured several areas to find the length between the glues. My roll had adhesives, each exactly as shown in the photo, about every 4ft, which is pretty normal for a roll of this size. Overall this is a good quality edge at an exceptional price. The price of this edge allows you to buy 25-50 feet in large stores. RECOMMENDED
