Message: <blockquote data-quote="DustyD" data-source="post: 212271" data-attributes="member: 36911">So i am trying to put ventilation holes in tiny enclosures (.9 inch by 1 1 inch) for some tiny slings i hope to get in the near future. The flame heated sewing needle works great, but even if i wipe off the needle, I still get black "soot" or something inside the holes. I tried soapy water and a tooth brush but still mostly there. Is that going to be a health issue for the slings. I am assuming it may be akin to charcoal.@Enn49know seven years ago this month you posted a response about using a flame heated needle. Any advice?I am practicing right now and the holes look ugly but allow water to pass through so they work.  I have about 20 more of these little plastic containers  to improve my skills on.[ATTACH=full]65267[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
