I would not recommend stuffing lots of paper inside an alarm panel.
Potential fire hazard.  Just what an unsuspecting customer needs, lots of
flammable material stuffed inside an electric device cabinet that is
generating heat.  WOW!  Good thing you are not in the trade!  You really
should think before posting some of this stuff to more unsuspecting diy vict
err clients.
