the strips are too long, what's the best way to cut them to size?

I must use tin snips and if the edges are rough file them down a little. Hacksaw might work as well if you take the rubber out and cut the rubber separately with scizzors.

I used a small hacksaw to cut the strips. also use a small metal file to take off the sharp edge. the strip is easy to drill if you need to add more holes. should be a piece of cake, easy install great product.

They needed to be trimmed by about an inch. It may very depending on your door height. I cut the rubber with a razor blade and the metal with a light duty hacksaw.

I used sheet metal snips which worked well. I've seen a hacksaw do the job well, too.

slick strips seem to be bendable along their length but not across the 3 inch width

Cut yourself. I found the instructions showed a length 1/4" too short.Cut and try ONE 1st for best results.

its possible doing what BJO said, But it would be easier to cut your strips off a 2X12

You can definitely cut them to size. They are off white vinyl and slightly shiny, so I'm sure you can paint them

trim with a utility knife or super shears. I believe they would be too thick at the thick end for scissors.

No you can't cut them to adjust the length. Why would you want or need to ?

On my last order of strips, the seller's information indicated how long the strips were good. I would suggest looking for that info before ordering or possibly contacting the seller.

Each of the "strips" are in a sealed pack that has the instructions on which way the strip will fit for the top and the bottom, just read the directions and you should be good! I did find that you have to be careful opening the strip as they will tear on one side if you are too aggressive getting the strip open!

These items consist of two end connectors with about six inches long of wire between. To shorten it you would need to unsolder one of the end connectors, cut the wire and re-solder it. It might be easier to just make a tidy loop in the wire. Or cut off one of the end connectors and solder the wires directly to the PCB strip.

Theoretically, 2" inches (Twice the width of the finished size of the tape maker). However, the thickness and stiffness of your fabric can affect your outcome. Starching your strips makes them easier to work with. I have also found that cutting heavier fabrics a little narrower (1 3/4") makes them guide more evenly.

Cut your own size to use as stabilizer. Cheaper to use than precut squares.

Imagine a long tape of Velcro. You just create the size/length you want for each use. Of course you can cut it!

I think you can just cut them to size. I bought some for the FD 1000 and they are good but have a large plastic edge which you cannot seen in the display photos which is probably better cut off anyway.

You really just have to take your time..I don't think there it's a way. I had a problem with them getting tangled..i just measured and cut what i needed..I'm sorry that i didn't have a better answer

I have one and I just use the regular size that you get at the store. I have cut them in half if I felt they were too long or too fat though, and it works just fine that way. Also works good if you need to dice onions
