I use the duratrax one and surprising it's actually very good. +1 on the dubro it's blunt as
Oddly I tend to do something similar, Using a standard fine point Weller 25watt soldering iron I let it heat up and then.. boom, hole. The excess melted lexan pops right off with a quick swipe of an xacto or a single edge razor blade.Nobby Sideways wrote:Please be aware I am a novice....
When I needed a hole for my body pin I used a teaspoon with a perfectly round handle, heated it over the gas stove flame and just pushed it through. It has the advantage that it quite neatly adds a little extra thickness at the hole edge which gives it additional strength as some of the plastic moves aside rather than just sticking to the spoon. It sounds messy but its really quite simple and gives an elegant hole. You can see it in the picture below (sorry I don't have a better one, its the hole at the nose).
