The reason for thinking about spreaders was to finish the split before waiting out the entire stroke. I don't want to use "extra" power for fear of stressing my design, mat'l size, and welds. With the removable wedge I could add spreaders at a later date. Or make up another wedge with spreaders since they are removable.
