I sourced these panels from China and none of the sellers have any
clue for bezels. I don't think their translators handled that
conversation very well. sigh

Take the cheap foam tape off and buy some good 3M automotive trim tape.
It will be gray thin foam with red peel strip.

Auto parts store has it in various widths. It is the stuff that holds
the trim on most cars these days.

This, replace the knock off "3W" tape with real 3M high bond tape and
forget about ever removing it.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. Another reason for the bezel was crash
proofing, protecting the teensy LEDs. These are going on flashlights.
