Making holes

Recommended Posts

So I plan to install my VaderDave an buttons, and I was considering melting the holes with my soldering iron versus drilling. The only for fall I see to that is I may not be at I make them all the exact same size. Its not rocket science to drill a hole, but I used my soldering iron to put snaps on and it worked very well.

 

Thoughts?

I used an awl or sharp punch to find the center for a pilot hole. I carefully drilled the holes with a drillbit by hand just spinning the bit with my fingers. The drillbit I used was slightly undersized. I would be afraid that melting a hole would increase the chance of the hole being off center... or possibly creating a ridge of melted plastic that you then have to sand or file off.

 

Aloha,
