Morning @Noyade 

:smile: Have to echo @Nailbag's sentiments in that you are extremely generous with your time and skills :smile: Something to attain to and use as an example I think.

 

Nice work.

Hey @Noyade, from one impatient person to another, I was able to sand off the cardboard and it came up great.  Here is the pic of the installation.  Next step is to paint it the same colour as the rest.  I love how it looks.
