Yes, the flox can be used for securing the head of the bolt so it will not turn or you can do as I did and flox the shaft of the bolt through the wood. I did not flox the head of my bolts. I also placed a large diameter washer under the head of the bolt to prevent any pull through or crushing of the wood. If the washer you use overlaps the edge of the spar, simply grind the washer flush. You may use Loctite on the threads if you wish but if you do, do not use the permanent type as some day you may have a need to disassemble the hinges. Plus, even if you do not use Loctite and have floxed the head of the bolt, there is no way that the set up will unscrew itself. Another thing is that when you glue the foam to the spar, you will also be gluing the bolt head then.
