Ideal Tool,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I saw those folded tabs from the start but when I pulled them out and run my finger into the holes I find no opening for the sand to get into the ears or the large, lower portion. And, when I first seen the tabs I wondered how they could possibly seal well enough to keep sand from coming out.

JUST NOW FOUND THE ANSWER. Ran a pencil between the two pcs of leather making-up the tabs. That's it!

I guess I just couldn't imagine such a small opening for filling.

Feel kind of dumb. Oh well.

Now I'm wondering how you guys fill these things through those pencil sized holes? Appears it's gonna take awhile.
