Thanks Beaky,

Unfortunately I don't have the necessary tools to CC as yet (one day!)...Hence leaning towards the dry method at this stage.  I've developed more patience in such areas and I am guessing the application is similar to that of Mylar?  The last lot I did on my T2 basically I was planning to do the same method, unless suggested otherwise.

The other thing I'm wondering, I've seen people use 'fillers' for coin door area.  That is a piece of ply, the same thickness but a touch smaller to have where the coin door is installed to fill the hole and help with install...
