Thanks for the heads up on this issue. Unfortunately , this miss cutting is not isolated to one manufacture. If I want a true cut strip , I cut my own. Yep they get a little tweeked at me .. at cutting counters, but once I explain why , the cutters always nod that they have experienced the same with the pre cut strips. So they will cut what ever I ask for. Maybe because they know me as a good customer, or just want to get me out of there. I get alot of 1/8 or 1/4 cuts for making my own 2.5 strips.
