Hi @pjs68 

My apologies for the late reply. I was racking my brain on a way to insulate the batten and still allow you to glue the panel on. I agree with Mitchell's suggestion and that is insulate the battens and skip the glue and just attach the panels with screws.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @pjs68 I did the exact same project as yourself last summer at a mates place. I essentially followed the same advice as @MitchellMc has provided. Those sound panels ae only MDF under a very thin timber look skin, so its also very important to both prime and flash all the ends to prevent moisture reach it. I then ran low voltage dimmable strip lights within the black cavities.
