That looks awesome! I've got my series 1 panel, but I don't know what to cut the back out with. I'd like to cut out a perfect strip from end to end along the back and then re-seal it. Got any ideas on how to do this neatly?

you wanted neat and something to be able to be put back and glued in . not an easy way.
