You could buy a glossy sheet of Lexan or some other plastic as a background for the repair. MarkB, what are good plastics for that purpose?

No need to buy anything expensive, an old double glazing unit will do the job these can be found in most skips or down the dump as long as it's big enough of course. Wax it to make sure gel won't stick then clamp side panel to it and off you go....simple really.
