Before adhering the LED strips, thoroughly wipe the inside surface of the plastic mounting tracks with an alcohol wipe. This removes any oils, dirt, or debris that could compromise the adhesive bond. Allow the alcohol to dry completely. Next, carefully peel the protective backing from the adhesive side of the LED tape. Starting from one end, press the LED strip firmly into the cleaned mounting track, working your way along the length of the track to ensure continuous and secure adhesion. The homeowner assists in this step, ensuring a smooth and even application.
