I did misread what you had said lol and I honestly read the whole thing.
If the outcome is that I can't split them that's what I will do. Shame because there are 3 trunks I'd really like to have out of the group 2 being soda can size so I'm not sure how well they would layer. The one I really do want isn't as thick but will have a great trunk shape.
Thanks again for your two cents! That might be what I have to do in the long run.
