" ... The adhesive strip on these LEDs is junk. ... The paper is fused to the glue and the entire strip peels off leaving you LEDs without any adhesive properties. ... "
" ... Just beware that the sticky backing is very weak. ... "
" ... I was so unhappy with this product cause it won’t stick on the mirror ... "
" ... I stopped using this after the adhesive wouldn't work. ... "
" ... Gently and carefully tried to remove paper from adhesive and could not get paper off without pulling adhesive. ... I called the number given in the box and after 15 minutes was told they won’t accept returns for bad adhesive issues. ... Was told to peel the adhesive off the power and put back on the led strip. ... Apparently they don’t understand what stuck to paper means. ... "
" ... Just a warning - the adhesive on the back of the lights does NOT stick well to metal. ... "
" ... Adhesive backing comes completely off not leaving the stay strip so you may have to glue them . ... "

" ... I mounted two strips on the ceiling with a piece of angle aluminum, and directly on wood rafters under each loft. ... "
" ... Kind of flimsy but easy enough to unroll. ... "
" ... The backing sticks well and is reasonably flexible- it will work on far tighter corners than the silicon-coated strip lights, at the cost of not being as weather-resistant. ... "
" ... There was a strong chemical smell when I first opened and inspected the LEDs, and I'm not sure whether that is the adhesive or a byproduct of the LED manufacturing. ... "
" ... I had to use other components to make them safe and durable for that application but I’m happy that they did what they were intended to do. ... "
" ... These are awesome i wrapped them around the inside of safe and it lights it up great in there! ... "
" ... No soldier connectors , super bright, cuttable, and cheap . ... "
