How Not To

Step 33 "Brass" Grommets

I made a pretty nice dacron sail.
Unfortunately the grommets I used weren't really brass, merely brass plated.
The vendor saved a penny or two per grommet, and my sail got rust stains and weak grommets that are dissolving in salt water.

So in the future, you'll be checking grommets with a magnet prior to purchase right?

That would sit just fine with the sales clerk.
