How do you guys enclose relay modules into the switch board? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I am automating my manual switches at home with ESPHome on NodeMCU. For controlling the switches, I am using 8 channel relay module.

The back of the board has solder-points sticking out. I will be installing this relay module inside the switchboard. So I want to put it in some kind of enclosure.

Just wanted to know your thoughts on enclosure. Should I just wrap the whole thing in electrical tape? Or a plastic box maybe?

Perfect. Ended up using the standoffs idea.

This is the wall outlet.

This is the switchboard that will be now mounted on wall mount. Wanted to avoid relay board from touching its back side.

This is the relay board now:
