Marc N - did you remove the adhesive that came on the lights before you applied to the 3M tape? I read somewhere that the adhesive that comes on these lights fails - which is why many folks use the 3M but if you just put he lights on without removing the poor stocke adhesive, it fails and falls off the good 3M stuff.
I did some accent lights in my house and I used a glue gun to attach. Seems to be holding well for over 6 months, but that is inside and not subject to the conditions our Monties go thru.

No, I didn't attempt to remove the adhesive on the back of the strip. I wondered about the wisdom of this, but I figured adhesive against adhesive would be a much more permanent bond than adhesive against metal. So far, after a hot Summer and a Winter, there has been no hint of anything releasing.
