if you had diped the nylon threads in wax first then they probely would have
come out a lot eaiser.


Hello Net

That is not necessarily true.  The locking feature of the nut will cut the
wax and a tiny bit of the plastic as the screw passes that part of the nut
plate.  The part that is on the other side of the plate embedded in the flox
will be stuck.  Cover the back of the nutplate and the screw, what ever type
you use with thick grease or wax, to make sure that the flox can't touch the
back of the nut plate at all.  I used floating nut plates attached to small
aluminum plates and attached the aluminum plates to the spar with small wood
screws.
