Joel,

I bought some as accent lighting and was just gonna use 1/8" or 3/16"
staples from a staple gun to hold them in place behind the trim.  Staple
right to the bottom of the cabinet.

As for the fluorescent fixtures I would use some 1/8" luan or hardboard and
staple to that.  Then screw the board in place.  I don't have any faith in
the adhesive that they come with.
