HI everyone,

what is the best way to make air holes in a rubbermaid container?

thanks

A good hot soldering iron works well. I used a drill and a good sharp bit on mine but you have to go slow if not to crack it.

Yup, soldering iron works great and you dont have to worry about cracking. Be sure to do it in a well ventilated room though, as there are a lot of fumes. Looks very professional cause it makes perfect holes with rounded edges.

You can get a cheap soldering iron from the hardware store for 10-15$. It is awesome for making airholes and holes in plastic, but hard wires flexwatt better then any other way!

Use a Dremmel and you have a lot of different bits available to you. You can drull or even cut an opening for a humid hide. There are sanding bits to use as well. That's what I used for my leos humid hide in rubbermaid and there are no sharp edges to hurt the geckos at all. RR

I used an electric drill.
