  • @geoffsjoinery4990

    @geoffsjoinery4990

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi there, Thanks for Watching and for your feedback. I prefer to use the 300mm/12” planer blades as you can control them a lot easier and also because of the long length it runs flat along your material better giving you a more flush finish on each edge. As for using an iron edge on an inside curve, that may be difficult as the iron won’t run flat along it. You might be better of doing this with the 1mm edge tape and contact glue. Try heating the edge tape up with a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the edge tape (where the curve area is) this will make it more playable when going on around the inside corner. Make sure you use something flat to also press it in so you eliminate any gaps between the edge tape and the shelf edge. Keep watching thanks again

    Thanks Michael for your support. Yes I think it’s a good idea using a router table (have you seen my table build?) hint, hint, you just have to make sure you get it set up perfect with a lot of trial runs. You can actually do a small round over for the edge which I have tried before works well. Good luck 😉👍

    If you don't have the spray adhesive at hand, the other alternative is to use the contact glue which you can buy in various size tins. This will need to be applied by brush to both surfaces, waiting till touch dry, then sticking together carefully as seen on the video. If your from Aust, then here is a link: www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-1l-kwik-grip-horizontal-contact-adhesive_p1233581 Hope this helps:)

    If you purchase a good brand spray adhesive it should hold up well. Above a stove should be okay providing there isn't a constant build up of moisture say, from steam and the edges of the cabinet door are always dripping (that would be extreme and your exhaust fan is not doing it's job!)

  • @geoffsjoinery4990

    @geoffsjoinery4990

    Жыл бұрын

    I round the corners using a sanding block then wipe clean with edge cleaner. When edging doors for example it depends what is seen first as to weather I edge the long side or short side first. E.g. if the doors are exposed and you see the side of them then I would do the short side then the long side last so it covers and that’s the final surface you would see, if that makes sense.

    You could try but may not get as good results as the warm iron melts the glue on the under side as well as providing a flat surface helping to press down the edge tape. This principle is only good by the way for 0.5mm edge tape. If I were you I would stick to the iron, trust me...Good luck and thanks for watching. 👍

    Put the iron on the highest setting, usually linen or cotton, so it’s HOT. As for the sand paper, obviously use a fine grade so you don’t rub through you newly created edge too quickly (say 240-320 Grit) good luck with your project

    Hi there, I haven’t had to fuss to much in regards to cleaning it, the roller mainly gets strings of glue on it which can easily be peeled off. The beauty of this machine and the glue puck system is it only heats up what it needs not like the cheaper Chinese versions which take small glue pellets. With those type of systems they have a glue pot set up which heats up and cools down when your finished with the machine. That’s the main issue with those type and why you eventually get crusty bits from the burnt or dried out glue in the pot which turned me off. I am not sponsored in any way by Festool but I am happy with this machine, it’s one of those “buy once, cry once” puchases! Cheers thanks for Watching
