A power drill might come in handy

Now that the SLF can no longer be usefully canvassed for ironmongery suitable for penetrating interior panels, it may be time to stump up for a couple battery operated drills with hole-saw attachments sized to admit a fire extinguisher nozzle.

The panel does help keep the halon concentrated where it is most needed.

And definitely the cabin crew needs to know where not to drill holes Markings to indicate vulnerable bits immediately beneath or alternatively Drill Here marks would do that.
