tbo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I prefer to drill, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 If it ain't broke don't fix it. Id say if it works for you and you are comfortable using a solder iron keep using it. I use a drill or a spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 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.

john danter Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Use a rotary hole boring tool...? Pointy drill bit you spin by hand and it slowly makes a hole. Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
