I bought these on-line to try out. I'm not sure I want to use them because the lids are very light weight and there is almost no tension holding them on. I'd have to tape them down.
I figure they are good for practice on making ventilation holes, if nothing else.
I tried drilling the holes, and that is a pain. The larger size drill bit takes a while to get through and if I push too hard, I know the material will crack. I had to drill with a small bit and then drill again with the larger bit. Then I had to go back and clean all the holes up and remove the plastic burrs. The edges seem a little sharp too.
Melting holes with a soldering iron was much easier, but the holes are not uniform and some might be too big for a smaller sling.
I obviously need to also work on making my holes in a straight line and equal distance apart, but that will come with practice.
What's the best way to make these holes?
