Front lift pins Reduxed in.

We dragged the fuse from Richie's hangar into our tent while doing the 4 BID layups to allow for better climate control, (mostly heat).
We figured we might as well put in two wings and bond in the front lift pins.
We very lightly scuffed the lift pin threads with 320 grit sandpaper and Scotch-Bright, then cleaned the lift pins with MEK.
We wet out with Redux the male threads on the lift pins and the female threads on the wings.
We put a piece of Tygon tubing over the pins and did the final tightening with a pair of pliers.
We will not bond in place the rear lift pins until after painting and just about ready to make first flight. Bud recommended this as things can, (and do), just plain change.
You have a much better chance of saving yourself extra work in the event you want to tweak the sweep, or resolve not being able to rig and get spar pins in/itis.
