Can you and should you cut small darts in the baffle material to form compound curves? I'm thinking of the front center baffles and how it interacts with cowl and upper inlet ramps. What a pain!

Not to hijack, but just post a follow up to the group:
I've done a search or two about baffles and such. Is there a "build thread" here that guys have posted step by step build tutorials on how they set up their baffles? I've seen a few threads (via the search feature here) but not anything I'd call a build thread on baffles.
We are getting ready to upgrade our baffle material - maybe to the low friction black fabric baffle material. We will probably also need to repair one or two areas of sheet metal that have some wear and tear to address. The reason for the baffle work is the orange rubber seal material that was in there before has torn in a few areas and a few pop rivets have departed leaving the baffle material in need of R&R work.
