There's a bit of seamstress skills involved (HAHA) - cut it to rough shape, spray glue it down a bit and trim to straight lines... at least that's how I roll :)

I've been playing a lot through that and my 6L6 BF Princeton Reverb builds... I dig the 18w, but it takes a bit of getting used to for a JCM800 junkie. The BFPR sounds killer.
