(i.e., Cut the access holes first and then glass or wait until after you glass?) Thanks, Jim

After glueing in the wood and laying the mat, I cut the hole. I still had some grinding, sanding, and glassing to do after that, so that was when I hit the inside edges of the holecuts with resin. You could also cut the holes after glueing to the top, before laying the mat. I think either way would work fine.
