standard procedure is to use treated wood when there will be contact with

Maybe I might consider slivers of PT wood if I had to R&R a Tapcon, but I
wouldn't trust a standard kitchen toothpick to last in concrete,
How about a couple of nylon tye-straps???

Cut to length, for the hole? Now you've got a great idea.

I did buy some Tapcons, and two masonary bits. Looked at beeswax, but
it's $5.49, so I'll try candle wax instead.

A friend loaned me an impact driver, so I can rattle the tapcons in.
Job set up for sometime Friday, see how it goes.
