Bonding of Starboard lift pin sockets 11.

I purchased from the Aviation isle @ 7-11, (24 hour convenience store in NY), a Pixie stick last night.
It is a long plastic straw with sugar, "pixie dust' in it. After consuming more sugar than one should, I warmed it up and fit it to a spare lift pin to form the proper shape needed.
Idea is to push it over the front lift pin to aid in clean up.
Here you see it pushed over bull nose of starboard lift pin and taped in place.
I will report results.

Results are great!
Even with greased pin and receptacle, Redux stuck better than it should to the tip of the pin. The straw allowed for easy release. I fear if I didn't use the straw and the Redux would have bonded to pin as well as it did to the tip of the pin, I would have had a problem where I don't know if I could have removed the starboard wing without breaking off the front socket.
On the port wing I will first wax the pin and receptacle, then grease it in addition to using the same straw.
