    This picture show where the insert was cutout of the foam before covering it with the light grey vinyl. The insert was cutout after the entire piece of foam was glue to the board. The board was marked and not sprayed with glue on the area to be removed. Later the entire board was covered with glue and vinyl pressed into the cutout before total curing. Inserts where covered and test fitted into the cutouts to make sure enough room. One thing I learned is not the stretch the vinyl while your glueing it on the edges. It will cause a dimple on the edges if you look close on some of pieces. Simply roll it over with the palm of your hand and press it down for a real neat edge. Notice on the left side of the panel where there is no foam. This with simply be covered with vinyl. This is where it butts to the front panel. See this first pictures above. This makes for a nice neat corner.
