I started trimming the fabric after the epoxy cured and it looked ok (probably great by most peoples standards), but not awesome. I got frustrated and just pulled it all off and removed the glue with mineral spirits. Amazingly none of the paint came off with the fabric and epoxy, they must have put it on their rather well. I'm just going to go the ole laminated wood route from one of the vendors and call it good. Oh well, you never know till you try.
