Since the Xcluder Strips contain metal fibers, you do want to be sure to wear thick gloves to protect your hands from these tiny metal fibers. Thick fabric gloves with extra rubber reinforcement is frequently used; thin latex or other disposable gloves would not be effective. We do offer an Xcluder Kit that inludes gloves appropriate for handling this material.
Each roll of Xcluder Strips is 1"W x 4'L, and you get 3 of those per bag.
We have checked with the manufacturer of Xcluder Strips Bag and they have advised that usually in this area customers will take the 4" wide material and fold it over like a "taco" shell, then insert up into this area. Having said that, this specific area can be different at each location so it would be recommended to measure the opening to see how wide an area it is to be sure it would fit or if another size is needed.
No, according to the manufacturer, the Xcluder Strips are made of stainless fibers and black poly that will not rust, stain, or corrode.
