I had to force it into the side channels. Once there it looked good and was pretty sturdy. Once covered it will never show and should last forever. That was another reason I decided to go with the stainless steel strips. The plastic retaining strips wouldn't hold.

I'm glad it worked out well for you, Vince...I think Amadeus uses FRB (fiberglass reinforced board) as it comes in different thicknesses and is shapeable with heat? I like the plastic strips...but I don't trust them (being 50 years old) so I'll again let Amadeus lead me on that! Thanks for showing us an alternate fastening method!
