The surface might not have been clean enough, but unfortunately not all types of double-sided tape is very good. Either replace the tape with a known good type, or use some clear silicone (just in a few spots).
Not electronics as such but its nice to complete a project fully. Somebody might have tucked cables etc under cupboards regularly. Bottom was very clean as it was fitted with pvc foam sheeting to give a uniform look. I will try the dabs of silicone along several points.
The other reason for asking on here is incase somebody said don't use a certain type of glue with this sort of circuit.

Yes, it aint done till it's done.
Vinegar-smelling silicones are not entirely safe to use for encapsulating bare & operating electronics/conductors (acid), but I expect the LED strip to be somewhat insulated - even a layer of varnish will do. After it sets it's completely safe anyway though.
Silicone is incredibly tough & reliable as a glue, & if you use too much of it you'll regret it the day you might have to remove what you put up.
