yep, that's aboot it. I ghetto'd it one day and used my power sander to "cut" out the speaker holes...all I really did though was sand the glass and resin till I reached the plastic speaker ring...kinda ghetto I know but I don't think I had my dremel at that point.

Cut the fleece after the first application of resin with a razor knife.
