Hi Bob,
All the LED strips I've seen have a transparent layer (kapton?) on the
bottom that you'd hit after you remove the adhesive. Don't you have bare
copper every three LEDs on the top, marked 12V + and - ?
Friendly regards, Bob
P.S. "international solvent", ie gasoline, cleans almost any sticky
adhesive. Check local statutes before use.
