[QUOTE="kormath, post: 71221, member: 4199"] i've used soldering irons and wood burning tools also, but i don't like the house stinking of burning plastic for a day or 2 after ;) For slings i use a 1/16" drill bit, and for the larger Ts a 1/8" in my amac boxes. the 1/16th is small enough even the tiny little 1/4" slings can't crawl through (my rosea has tried and tried lol) and the 1/8" is large enough to allow plenty of ventilation and small enough the larger slings can't escape. On the 2.75" sq amac boxes i put in 4 holes on a side, the 4" sq boxes i do 5. and i do a pattern on the top also if i'm up to it or just randomly drill holes here and there on the top if i'm in a hurry.
