Can the strips be shortened for small ledges?

Don't go to the trouble. I bought this plastic junk and it only lasted about a year. They became brittle and broken from the sun. I replaced them with all stainless steel that can be shortened.

No, you cannot shorten the strips. I found that the bird scary tapes work better than the bird spikes and are much cheaper (less than $10). You might want to use both scary tapes and bird strips to keep birds away.

Not easily. They're very hard plastic and hard to cut. I'd recommend making something with wire or nails yourself.

You could probably cut through them with a dremel or something similar; from what I recall they're too thick to cut with scissors.

these are plastic, so yes, they can be cut to fit. You just have to do two to match because these sit side by side to make one piece.

Yes the ledge is the same width all the way around. But you would have to use thin chalk.

They work well for corners but are not bigger enough to go from side to side.

Not unless you cut them to size. As sold, they're meant for 8" and 9". If I baked a lot of smaller sizes, I'd consider making a "custom" set because the Strips are that good! The main purpose of the Strips is to let the center of an item finish baking without causing the edges to over-bake, which I'd think is even more of an issue with smaller cakes. BTW, my first set of Strips did not have hook-and-look clasps, just lengthy, sturdy pins, which worked just fine for many years. Don't think you have to use "Velcro" on a smaller Strip.

I haven't tried doing that, but it should work. The Velcro connection is the whole length of the strips.

Yes I am sure you could. Simply cut off a few inches on each piece. The issue is the spring loaded insert that goes through the holes to determine the length. It probably could be moved with a pop rivot.

The hooks are reuseable, but the strips are not. Extra strips may be purchased separately.

No, I don't believe so. I wish I could make mine shorter, but there's holes that all line up to screw it together.

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.

Yes, the trick is to make sure you wet the surface and your fingers enough with the solution where the strips slide on the surface of the edge. That way you can make the necessary adjustments to make them fit right. Doing one edge and letting it dry before you do another edge also increases your success rate. Also, do the edges after you do the front and back.

Unfortunately, no they can't. They are somewhat flexible when working with it but you have to be careful to ensure ends line up with wall ends. Hope this helps!

You can cut them to the size you need. The panel is a solid molded plastic; very strong. there are no predrilled holes for screws. The only consideration you should make is the length. You need to span 2 wall studs to secure it without risking failure. That would make the smallest length about 17". Paint may be a issue. The hardware will scratch the paint off if you are not very careful installing it in the grooves.

Only if you stand them on end. I don't think it's deep enough to accommodate them lengthwise

You can cut it to any length. The strip consists of Three LEDs are in a series circuit over and over again in parallel. If it's cut short only the other 1 or 2 won't work. There is no need for soldering. But I suggest sealing the end with hot glue to keep moisture out if it's used outdoors

A ledge of 6 inches should not pose an issue. The support legs are adjustable.

I don't think you can shorten it. We have ours attached to a post and a tree.

My husband installed ours and I know that he did cut them to the length he needed. However, I am not sure about the amps - I think they all pull from the same amps regardess of the size of strip.
