    What’s the context of this thread? It looks like it was broken off from another and it seems like the topic at hand is spreading something such as ABC mix, processed fill, etc.? I’ve run straight dumps, and end dumps (frameless, framed, and quarter frame) and was ready to answer questions, but I can’t what the question is.
