I will attempt exactly the same thing with the Sony lightwedge.

Looking at the pictures I tend to agree. As you described, the "masking" you did appears not to have a significant effect on how the light is distributed over the reading surface. Since your wedge has only 2 but apparently very bright LEDs the light cones are more prnounced compared to the Sony PRSA-CL1 with its 4 LEDs. The problem the Sony wedge has (besides the light leakage) are not the light cones but these typical vertical artifacts which were described as smudges earlier in the thread. My hope is that these might get better as a welcome side-effect with the proper masking technique.
Anyway, I am glad that you seem to be happy with your modification.
