Are these easily cut? I'd like to cut these lengthwise and hot glue together to form triangular shapes for bass traps.

I haven't done it, but I'm sure they are easily cut. The best ways I can describe its physical properties are: If I hold a pad up balancing it with one hand placed near its center, they're ridgid enough so that there's only a very slight droop towards its edges. But if I squeeze it between my fingers, I can easily compress it down to about 1/2" and when I let go it springs right back to its full 1-1/2" thickness.I think if I was going to cut it, I would compress it with a straight edge and use a carpet knife or something similar, but I tend to overthink things and maybe a good pair of shears would do just as well.

You can cut them, but one piece will be a little hard to separate from the backing (due to it not having an edge from which to peel). It isn't bad, though. Just have good fingernails! I've done it before.

Yes, they can be cut with some scissors, but it might not look very nice. It would not have the support of the thick, clear plastic tray it sits in presently.

I feel that they would be fine for what you are cutting. I have cut up to 14/12 stranded, but I wouldn't go much larger than that.

Yes, you can cut them to any length you want. The are a hollow composite material- easy to cut with a saw. We have had them for two years now and they still look brand new!

you can just cut them with a pair of nail scissors! its a lot easier than it may seem, and still looks somewhat natural!

It certainly used to be in the instructions to cut them to size. I made the mistake, though, of following the lines of the embedded fibers. After I did it, I realized the fibers were not at all at a right angle to the edges. So I ended up with a trapezoid.......

Yes, but use a "hot knife" or a rotary disc, because it is styrene-type hard plastic, and difficult to cut. They also cut to fit, I believe at extra cost, and worth it.

They can be cut but as far as that product you need to check the size and see if they are large enough to make the strips you need.

1. They cannot be cut, but they are quite small in the first place. 2. I am having trouble understanding your exact question. They seem quite strong. I used them to reinforce my fridge magnets since some of them weren't strong enough to keep the kitchen timers in place. They were strong enough to do that. Said timers are plastic, but a little heavy for the magnets they already had.

Yeah, the are attached by what looks like two small solder joints, one on each side of each leg, but it looks easy enough to bend and snap off, or even a dremel, or small handsaw could probably cut right through it. a dremel would be the easiest way to go. its only 11$ so its not too big of a loss if it doesnt work out right, but i do a lot of handy things and modifying things myself so in my opinion if i wanted the legs off I would definitely give it a go without hesitation. :) just use a metal file to soften the edges if you do decide to try it out so you dont get hurt on sharp edges.

Hi. Yes we can cut them. You would have to order 3 pieces of this size. Then send us a note with sizes you need. The shipping cost will be shown at checkout. Thanks

You can cut them between the 4 copper looking circles only. They are ever 3 diods. These are the conecting points and you will nee the special connections. It has been said you can solder them but I perfer the connectors.

Yes, you can cut them into three light strips. That's the shortest length, or you can cut longer strips, 6, 9, 12, etc. lights in the strip. You need to use the connectors if you want to string strips together or you can solder electrical wires to each strip to connect them. I soldered mine but the connectors would be easier. Hope that helps. Oh, they work and look great, really bright.

No, you need to cut them yourself. I love these, because they are easy to hold on to, and are large.

Yes you can cut these to any length. They have lines on the strip to show you where you can cut them. Once you cut them you can't add a strip, because the cut end won't have a connector on it. Each strip has a connector on each end. I hope this helps.

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.
