[QUOTE="ramos, post: 419302, member: 540858"] Ever played with modeling clay or play doh ? That's what I usually use in situations like this. It's pretty easy to make a mold that small with it. I take a pile of clay, spread it out with a couple inches of excess over each side of the panel your copying. And make it a couple inches thick. Then I take the panel and grease it up with some vaseline, then press the panel into the clay to make a mold. Make sure you press good and hard, and even. Then pull your panel back out. Now is the time to smooth out the area you want to put your screen ,and throw the clay in the oven for a little while to harden it up. Viola you now have a mold of your panel. Then from there I wax ther inside of the mold with car wax, vaseline or something of the like to keep the glass from sticking. Then lay a couple of layers in the mold, wait for it to dry, now you have a blank copy of your panel with no holes anywhere.
