You might also want to check into KY Jelly. You can find it in the feminine
hygiene section of the drug store/market. It is water soluble, so it cleans up
very nice with a damp paper towel and doesn't make a mess.
In general, I'm able to put the grommets in dry. Squeeze it to an egg shape and
stuff as much as possible in the hole. Then take a small (very worn)
screwdriver and push the last little bit in the hole.
The KY is good for sliding the cable or wire through the center of the grommet.
I learned this trick back in high school chemistry to get glass tubes through
rubber stoppers.
