Abstract: A method for manufacturing rectangular panels, wherein the panels have a substrate and a top layer. The panels are provided with a first pair of opposite edges, namely a first edge, and an opposite second edge. The method includes the steps of applying a liquid on at least a part of the first edge. The liquid penetrates the respective edge to a certain depth. The method further includes applying varnish on at least a part of the first edge while the liquid on the first edge is still wet.

Abstract: Floor panels have coupling parts in the form of a tongue and groove with locking surfaces. In a coupled state of two such panels, an open space is present, viewed vertically, between the tongue and the lower lip, and viewed horizontally, between the contact zone and the contact between the horizontally active locking surfaces. The underside of the tongue in the open space comprises a first face. The top side of the lower lip in the open space comprises a second face parallel to the first face. In the coupled state of two such panels, at least one face is perpendicular to the panel and intersects both the first face of the first coupled panel and the second plane of the panel coupled to the first panel.
