I'm just about to install my LED strips. they have an adhesive on the back and about 8mm wide.
I'm wondering if it will be best to seal the back of the routed channel that they will go into with some PU varnish or similar or just go onto bare wood (ash). I really don't want them peeling off over time.
My strips are about a metre long and I can really only secure the ends.
Any words of wisdom/experience would be most welcome.
TIA
Bob
Bob,
Just spotted this.
Those LEDs were just stuck on bare steamed beech before painting. I've been back to do more work there and I've not noticed any peeling off. If you were worried I suppose you could seal the surface first.

Thanks Chris.
I'll give it a go on bare wood and see how it goes. If there is a problem later I can always get in there with the hot melt gun. The location cannot be seen in normal use.
