I want to thank you all for the good input on whether to permanently
bond the wingtips or make them removeable.  I chose to permanently bond
them.  I have plenty of access through the lighting panel which I built
into the tip and the permanent bond was much easier.  I have an
additional question.  I can't find any kind of bid schedule in the
manual for permanently bonding the wingtips.  It does mention to use
structural adhesive which I was lucky to have just enough and just
squeaked under the expiration date on the can.  The joggles are not
double joggles and therefore I'm thinking that there is no additional
bid layups to put over the exterior of the wingtip after the initial
bond.  Is this correct?  Have any of you who have permanently bonded
your wingtips added an additional bid on the exterior surface?  Is the
structural adhesive enough of a bond, or am I missing something?

Thanks for your opinions, suggestions, and facts in advance,
