BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across.

I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Or maybe keeping it more basic still, one with more seco loading will be "burnier"...- Jim D

creating a smooth blend
We all agree that seco, viso, and ligero have a different impact. They all come from a different part of the plant.
