Jim,

After doing the 1/4" coring of the ribs I would just go ahead and do the 
initial flox release with 2 layers of duct tape on the inside skin, and 
after it's cured sand the squeezed-out flox flush with the sides of the 
ribs.  If the unsupported (flox only) area is longer than a couple of 
inches you might want to do a "foundation" 2-BID layup tying it onto the 
rib sides which you'll want to trim flush with the skin-mating surface of 
your flox. Then follow up with the capstrip release (don't forget to 
replace the 2 layers of duct tape with a single layer of packaging tape on 
the inner skin) and the additional 2-BID that wraps from the capstrips onto 
the rib sides, as per the manual.  I'm confident this will give you all the 
strength you need.  Don't forget to drill your vent holes.
