Filling with flox is fine. Make up a test piece simular to your job and test it to destruction.
I broke of my wing tip off and had to spliced the last 15" of the main spare to repair it. Working on the wing was a little awkward and left me with some gaps, so I used flox in the gaps. With each batch of glue used to repair the spar I also made a test piece which was later tested to destruction. Each test piece failed on the wood, the glue joints were stronger than the spruce. This proved my technic was sound and that each batch of glue was mixed correctly. regardsBarry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm -----Original Message----- From: krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net] On Behalf Of jg7...@mindspring.com Sent: Saturday, 28 October 2006 7:31 AM To: KRnet Subject: KR> Flox I had to replace the bottom piece of 3x5/8 spruce on my firewall and the fit isn't exactly what I would like. My question is could I use flox to fill in the small gaps in the wood? Maybe I am being to much of a perfectionist but I have been trying to get 99% contact on the wood.
