P.S. brilliant. I was thinking of doing something similar but hadn't considered EL materials. Well done
You should be able to get it pretty tight as you can cut (with a scalpel or craft knife) directly into the light source, no real need for gaps - and once switched on small imperfections are somewhat lost.
