When I go and wrap the fleece around my center console where do I cut off at? Do I wrap the whole thing and resin it all? OR Just cut off the excess and wrap the only part that needs fiberglass?

When I staple the fleece, will the staple dissapear with the fiber glass covering the staples? I just dont want to do this wrong?

you can cut right after the staple. Yes, the staple will be covered over with resin so you should be alright. Make sure the fleece is extra tight. You don't want any sags in it.

I would staple it where the staples aren't visible if possible because you will probably be using body filler to smooth them out if you plan on painting

You can also rabbet the ends and staple your fleece there. Take a look at this picture. May also help.

Not a problem, here is another one you can add as well.

A router with a rabbeting bit is by far the best way.
