I liked the idea of laying them side by side and dragging the solder across but,if you have not done so I would remove the cardboard as a possible source of fire. I don't know how hot these things get but not sure I would lay them on paper.
thank you for your concern, I stupidly hadn't thought of that. I left one that i made on for 16 hours yesterday to see just how hot they get on the cardboard. they were warm to touch but nowhere near hot. For my application I think the cardboard will work just fine for the minimal usage hours they would be running.
I would however use a circuit board or other flame resistant backing material for any future lighting project.
thank you
