The cover layer releasably overlies the plurality of throughbores in the top layer and has an adhesive layer thereon that detachably engages the top layer, a tab that extends radially therefrom for facilitating removal of the cover layer, and a string that extends along and past the tab for further facilitating removal of the cover layer, with the cover layer being removed by first grasping the string and the tab, then pulling upwardly until the cover layer is completely removed from the top layer, exposing the plurality of throughbores in the top layer, and then finally temporarily relocating the cover layer to another area of the top layer.
