Spar attach fittings, flox or microballons?

[southwind32]

Getting ready to install the spar attach fittings (doublers) and the strut attach fitting. The instructions say to use a little bit of micro balloons. Is flox ok to use in this case, that's what I've been using in other mixtures, I have that, but don't have any micro balloons.
Thanks

Should be micro balloons. It maintains dissimilar metal separation. You should have got a small jar of it in the kit. Mine is a white plastic jar.

Don't have any, so flox shouldn't be used? Where can I get micro balloons?

ACS,Wicks, Amazon, EBay, some hobby stores. Do a search and many sources should pop up with maybe something local. Just curious, sounds like you have used flox in other mixtures. Flox was called for in these correct and not microballoons?

Brian,
I have often used Tap Plastics. The closest I see to you is in Stockton. I suspect, though,, you might find it in most stores selling fiberglass supplies.

As John McBean would certainly say. "we have that here at Kitfox".
It's a simple phone call.

Is there different kinds of micro balloons? if so, what kind do I look for? Obviously, I know nothing about this stuff LOL.
Thanks

As far as i know all microballoons are the same. I used the the stuff when i was building rc planes 30 yrs ago.

Thanks for the reply. Talked to Debra at Kitfox today, need to use micro balloon for to protect the two different materials. Flox wouldn't do the job. So, I have some micro balloon being shipped to me. Bet not to many of you are getting micro balloons for Christmas
