A 5mm aluminium profile is not optional on a continuous run, and it is what keeps the groove looking finished rather than showing the adhesive backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRoute the groove carefully\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this width there is very little margin. Cut slightly deeper than the profile so it sits just below the surface, and test on an offcut of the same material — in hardwood or MDF a groove a millimetre too wide cannot be undone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard runs see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/led-strip-lights\"\u003e8mm and 10mm COB tape\u003c\/a\u003e.
