You did a great job :main_yes:
Nice pics too.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the holes in the Tupperwear :D

I found that if I use new drill bits that are sharp, and have the drill at the
highest speed, I get pretty clean holes.
Try working the bit in and out of the hole several times to cut off the excess plastic.

I use a soldering iron and melt the holes in. There are no sharp edges. Everything is nice and smooth and it doesn't take very long to do. ;)

I have an old woodburning kit from when I was a kid, and I use it to burn my holes. I am sure that it does just about like the soldering iron.
