On a Vertical Surface
Magnetic Strip can be cut with regular scissors and applied to any flat, smooth non-porous vertical surface. Proper adhesion requires full contact with the vertical surface. So if you have drywall or rough walls, the magnetic strip will likely not adhere well.
Consider some of our other spice storage ideas or mount your strips on a sheet of hardboard or other flat hard sheet that can be attached to the wall.
If you are using several sizes of spice tin, you can mount different widths. Not all cabinets are the same, but it is likely that the tins (except the 2 oz.) will bump into cabinet shelves when you close the cabinet, if not spaced properly on the door. We do not recommend horizontal placement of the strips. To avoid the shelves, we suggest marking the strip with tape. This way you will not accidently place the tin at the same level as the shelf.
When you choose "Standard Magnetic Strip" as your magnetic option in the Shopping Cart, you will receive the width of magnetic strip that is closest to the width of the tins. This will provide the maximum amount of metal tin to magnet connection. You may choose to purchase magnetic strip separately should you decide you want a different width or if you have another project. Click to purchase Extra Magnetic Strip.
