When we put up the deco strip as a test, there is a gap between the bottom of the cabinet and the top of the deco strip. Also, I can see just the barest sliver of the cabinet frame peeking out from below the cabinet doors.

When Tony actually screws on the deco strips will that gap be eliminated? If not, how do I make sure that it is?

Do I need to adjust the doors down to cover the little sliver of cabinet frame?

Included with the deco strip is a roll of foam with adhesive - apply this to the top of the strip to create a better seal (to prevent light from shining through ).

As the doors are slightly smaller than the cabinet there will always be some of the cabinet face visible.
