    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.

    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
