, and not the back of the light strip, put them in the freezer for an hour prior to installing them. Since being told this trick, I've never had an issue with them sticking, and staying on anything.

I seem to have them last a few months then the glue gives up the ghost. Hence the 3m Tape.

Pretty much noting will stick to silicone.
Probably have to mount it mechanically (with screws) or on a different surface.
