Are there any ingenious ways of ensuring your cp overlay matches your panel f you didn't cut them together or have a template? |

Plexi top. I'm thinking trying to make some kind of stencil. |

If you have a router you can use a flush trim bit to make the two match. You would have to be able to remove the CPO top though. I even used a router to cut out the button holes. (I sandwhiched the plexi between my existing panel and a piece of scrap to cut out the holes). Also something else that might work is using a piece of poster board or other heavy paper type product. Remove the controls from your panel, lay the poster board on top, tape it down in a few spots to be secure, and use a hobby knife / razor blade to carefully cut out the holes for your controls and the panel outline into the poster board. You can then use the poster board as a template for your plexi. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 |

Thanks for the tips, I think I'm going to end up putting a drop cord underneath and shine light up through the panel through sheets from slagcoin. Once i have a button hole centered over the hole in the CP I'll mark the drill hole on my Lexan (assuming I can see the template through the protective covering. It might work...... |
