Skot, How you close the aleron bay really depends on the process you are using. I used the PoliFiber process and the requirements for that process as specified in their manual did not require stitching. Gluing the fabric was sufficient according to the STC. If you are using an STDed process, it should tell you the requirements based on the STC approved process. If you are not using an STC I think the stitching might be required but that is only a guess on my part. What ever process you are using should be properly signed off by an authorized signature so your best reference might be to check with the person wo will be responsible for returning the aircraft to service.
