Repairing the back panel of a HP-15c

[sunpazed]

I picked up this HP-15c recently, and am really pleased with it’s condition. However, the back panel is a slightly bent and starting to peel off.

What’s the best approach to repair this?

I’m thinking;

- Use a hot-bag to soften the rear glue.
- Slowly peel off the metal with a spudger.
- Repeat with hot-bag.
- Once off, remove glue with isopropyl alcohol,
- Flatten metal panel by wedging it between flat MDF and weighing it down with a few heavy bricks,
- Clean, and re-adhere somehow.

Any thoughts?
