Installed these strip lights and and was wondering what you guys thought about potentially cutting of the ends when I'm at the end of my runs. It would clean up the look a bit and would eliminate the risk of the ends getting snagged on something while moving around them. Thougt about snipping them and finishing off with liquid electrical tape. What do you think? I do have so me extras so if it happened to screw something up I suppose I could just use one of my extras

should work fine, just make very sure ends are sealed up and not touching each other, shouldn't kill you if you touched it but you may jump a little.

Before you do that, ask the manufacturer first. Depending on how the current limiting resistors are placed, you may wipe out more LEDs that you would think.
