Not sure what you are making there, but if "flokul" hapens to be a combination of Potassium Metabisulfite and Potassium Sorbate, you are right on track. The postassium compounds are the stabilizers.
Knowing which of the 1000 Cab Sauv kits might help, especially as you are using a term (flokul) not normally used in the kits discussed here.oh. I meant to mention.. it is a cab/sauv kit

BTW, I googled "flokul wine" and it is probably bentonite, which is a clearing agent normally added before the yeast in the kits that I'm familiar with.
Normally stabilization is the addition of potassium metabisulphite (aka K-meta) and potassium sorbate. Although some kits use the term stabilizer for the sorbate. It sounds like your kit, separates these two additives.
Personally my order is K-meta, degas, sorbate (if required), more degassing probably, and then the clearing agents.
About 8-10 years ago, some Spagnols kits had you adding the bentonite post fermentation. I don't recall the exact order, but I do recall that the bentonite required lots of stirring, so I guess I was degassing after adding the bentonite. Sorry I don't recall where the bentonite fit with the K-meta
