Get-out the razor blades, bud. You could run that sukka for 6 sec dwell, cook breakfast on it, and you still will not get fill. [Hole file that is, breakfast will go along ways if peckish, though.] You could fire-up the depleted ozone rework gun [

Oooo, thanks for the conversion. Being metrically challenged, az a skratchin ma haid thar fer a mite. We do a G-10 160 thou and have similar issues. Now, we�ve talked about barrel fill [ie, slowing belt speed, increasing pre-heat temps, etc] befor
