I've probably mentioned this before, but...I can't say enough about having a decent laser level for doing framing, drywalling, hanging kitchen cabinets ect. I bought a $100 Bosch level and a cheap $15 tripod. Invaluable for my renovations.

Laser level for drywalling?
Can't say i've seen that before. Usually when the frames are put up, you level and square as you go. I certainly hope they are still fairly level and square by the time anyone does drywalling!

I use the perpendicular laser to locate the studs for drywalling.

Alright so back to the generic woodworking thread, i've got a question, or just looking for opinions.

I did some edge banding on our bbq table two years ago. The banding has since delaminated and it needs to be redone. The problem i have is that virtually all the edge banding sold is pre-glued. The glue is a heat activated material. Since this bbq table is out on our back deck, the surface temps can easily hit 45C or more.
Hence, the edge banding glue is heating up and releasing.
It doesn't help that after a rain, water can collect on the surface and act as an additional solvent.

As such, i've been thinking about the best way to redo the banding.
Here's what i've come up with (opinions?).

  • Find wood veneer edge banding that is not pre-glued.
  • Use a 'real' wood glue with better adhesion for outdoor uses (i have Titebond III).
    http://www.titebond.com/titebond_wood_glues/Ultimate_Wood_Glue.aspx
  • Finish with an oil based urethane. (The water based outdoor urethane i used original also reacts in the high heat and in presence of water and 'bonded' to some items that were sitting on top of the table like the base of a stone cutting board).


Thoughts?

One thing to note, i CANNOT find wood veneer edge banding that isn't pre-glued locally. I'm still looking to source not glued banding. I only need about 20'.
Additional thoughts?

Chess, it's like Home Center bath cabinets. Veneered edging, no matter pre-glued, or glued by you, is so thin (1/32" or less) that it doesn't do well with changes---ANY, like temp., hum., heat, direct sun, water, ice, etc. Could you edge it w/ 1/4" (or a bit less) strips of a weather-resistant hardwood instead? Glued, clamped and set-screwed? Stain/finish as desired?

Well the edge banding itself looks pretty good, it just let go from the table edge. I'm fairly sure it is just a hot glue issue because it is blistering hot out on our deck to the point where it can cook eggs.

In brief though, I cannot use hardwood strips. The table does not have any square edges. It is mostly over and round and would take a lot of time and gear I don't have to try and mold real wood strips to it.

What about ripping your own "edge banding" and affixing it with Tite Bond Exterior wood glue and using filament tape to "clamp" it?"
