Want to create a Brim with raft qualities

I have been making many objects with a brim on my Replicator 2 but for some unknown reason my rafts stopped sticking. The strands width for brims is rather thin and they just would not stick. When I could get brims working they are great.

I was wondering if I could slow down the extruder "and" thicken up the strand for the brims. I know how to slow it down but not sure about thickening. Want to thicken about the width of the first layer of a Raft.

Btw, this software is killer.

If you increase the "first layer width" setting on the Layer tab, it will make the extrusions on the first layer thicker (including the brim). You can also adjust the "first layer speed" if you want to go slower.
