Just curious about the technique used by the guys who are using the panel bonding adhesive.

There appear to be 2 possible ways of fitting the patch panel into the existing /remaining structure so that it has a flush fit.

1. Create a flange either on the patch panel or the remaining work.

2. Place "backing plates" or "backing strips" behind the edges of the remaining work, and then placing a flat patch panel against those.

Here a great article and series of photos showing the second method. Couldn't find any visuals on the first. If my explanation isn't clear, I think you guys will get it from looking at this.
