Sea plane grommets

[Jim Hann]

Another vote for the soldering iron, easy, quick, and like many said, virtually unnoticeable!

Your airplane is to purdy...just burn the drain hole locations with a small diameter soldering iron.. there are also drain holes in the ailerons and flaps..

Just don't stick the soldering iron in too far when doing the flaps and ailerons. You get an extra drain hole for inverted flying.

I usually burn a hole with a soldering iron through two layers of fabric but if the customers wants seaplane grommets I cut and install a fabric doily over them because just gluing them on the fabric is just asking for them to pop off a few years later. You have to get the weave running the right direction for them to lay down good.

I peeled them off and used a little acetone to get the glue off. It looks much better and did not hurt the stewarts systems covering or paint at all.
