Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Jay" data-source="post: 131914" data-attributes="member: 27677">I had trouble with the drill, I either had it skating before penetrating, making it messy or with other plastics having the plastic melt onto the bit.I found the best way for me at least was to use the soldering iron, but not worry about the hole, just getting the size of the melted rim even. After that I used very small screwdriver as a drill bit to clean the plastic from the hole. I found that when using a soldering iron looking at the size of the actual hole was misleading, melted plastic clogs it, but making the "rings" the same size was easy and much neater. I hope that makes sense.</blockquote>
