    Seems to me we have been over this subject several times in the past
    year or so.....there was a similar discussion about soldering bezels
    to reticulated sheet. 

    Well, anyway, what I do (and have been doing for years) is lay the
    bezel on the textured sheet lightly pencil in a line around the
    bezel.  Then with a small mizzy wheel or other light sanding wheel
    in my Foredom, cut a narrow channel inside the line.  Once or twice
    around and its done.  Now lay the bezel into this small channel and
    solder!  Takes but a tic..
