I like it i stretched my flats in apt flats aid and to one side looked like light leakage or something like that ,then this popped up on Astro buy for £8 so should give a snug fit and once the outer area is blackened ,hopefully should do the trick .

That’s exactly what I did though I think I still need a sheet or two between panel and frosted acrylic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
