Default Cut Out Too Much In Hood

Hi,
Any of you tank builders/fix it people have suggestions on how to patch
up the back of a tank hood ? I cut out too much plastic for the heater/filter and now have alot of open space. I have a piece of cardboard
currently covering the open space but it is far from secure. I've seen one of my cats sitting on top of the hood and knocking the cardboard to the floor !
Thanks !!

For mine,I use craft canvas and tape.You can cut it easily,its nice and cheap and looks nice.I think you may can find it in black too.I have some green but cannot remember what other colors were there.

It can be found at craft stores,like Hobby Lobby if you have one.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm relieved that there is something out there ! I'm not exactly sure what craft canvas is. Is it what you'd paint
on like an artists canvas ?

The white thing in the background is craft canvas.People use them to do larger needlepoint with yarn instead of thread.
