Finishing tips:

- Take time to fill seams carefully for the best visual results. - After applying sealant between the gaps, lightly dabbing the surface with a paper towel helps create a more realistic lunar texture. - When using COB LED strips with fixed cut lengths, slightly overlapping the final segment can help avoid visible dark gaps and ensure more uniform illumination. ---
