I've heard some horror stories about Kydex pulling away from the rings.
The latest is that people are having to use brass brads every couple of inches to secure it back on.

What is formica exactly? Sounds like a kind of wood!
Apparrantely you are supposed to put the kydex in the feezer before you install it, that way when it heats up and expands, it forms a tight bond inside the 2 cage rings. If you install the kydex on a hot day, you will get these shrinkage problems where it will pull apart from the rings.
I like your light shroud too, it looks very neat, is it a homemade job or bought one?
