zero glue line finish for high gloss laminate & edgebanding
5/1/15
using acrilux high gloss laminate with matching edgebanding but having problems using contact cement, it shows the glue line. What is the best way to achieve a zero glue line finish without the million dollar holzher equipment?

Are you using a bander? We laminate top and bottom and band afterwards. There is no glue line. If you are using contact cement for edgeing, try waterbased H2O from wilsonart. It is white.

thanks, no we are not using a bander, so we are not really equipped for a real professional application, but trying to figure out the best way to get this done without it, i may give that white contact cement a try! thanks

I dont know where you are located, but if there is a shop in the area that has a bander,try to rent some time from them. This is a high tech material and you are using old school tecniques. We have a great bander with radius bits and PLC control and it is still a challenge to get a great edge.

i agree, this will be a learning experience for us, i will not install the finished product until it is acceptable. Worse case scenario we will just spray it with white CV. Was hoping i could get this to work so this could be our go-to system for high gloss finishes.
