We have a Casadei V320 hot air edge bander that within it's specs is supposed to be able to apply 2mm PVC-ABS edge band, pre-glued. My regular supplier of banding does offer P/G 2mm banding due to their fear of heat from most machines not being able to penetrate the 2mm and activate the glue. Anyone have experience using 2mm P/G banding and if source for it??

It's been a while since I have used a hot air edgebander but I seem to remember that they heat the glue directly on the back of the tape not the face of the tape. I believe Framatech and ESI will both pre-glue any banding that they sell. It's worth a call anyway.

I think the bigger challenge is keeping the memory out of the edging, running the risk of delamination because of not the right combination of heat to keep the curl out of the edge. I believe that is why pre glued 2mm is a scarce commodity.

The clock spring nature of thicker banding causes problems on hot air banders. Some suppliers have contour banding that is made with more plastisier, it is softer and will flatten out or go around curves better. The drawback is it has a higher shrinage rate. Your pattern choices are limited but it may be worth a try.
