Default Joining wings

Hey guys,

I am building a Sig Komander and have the wings all sheeted and set to go. The manual says that when joining the wings, to just Sig bond them.

Wouldn't that be a VERY weak point on the aircraft? I would think that when pulling some hard load factor, they would just fold on me. So I was thinking, should I Epoxy it at the joint, and then run a band of epoxy around the seam as if I was taping the joint?

These are foam wings with balsa sheeting.

Thanks for the help!
