Regarding seaplane grommets; I did my first Stewart System elevator like I had always done dope and Polyfiber and made doilies for the grommets. I soon learned however you don’t need doilies with Stewart’s. Take the gromet and rub the backside on some medium grit emery cloth to remove any glaze then glue it on. Done. Yep, seems like you are skipping an important step leaving the doilies off but you don’t need them. If your unconvinced, glue one on and try to remove it with a pair of needle nose pliers. It won’t come off without distorting the gromet and the fabric. Also the glue doesn’t dry out like dope.
