The fuel dot that comes in the Wild Hare hardware kit is nothing spectacular, but that is the point. It is fairly subdued and I could paint it if I wanted to. It screws nicely into the wood and will stay there eternally with just a little medium CA. I applied some thin CA around the inside of the cutout after the fuel dot was in and glued with medium, just to harden the wood around. Pulling and pushing on the side of a plane does add a bit of stress, so I wanted to make sure the plywood could take the abuse.
