The drill plate and drill are removed from the sales packaging.aquarium_drilling

This is what you should expect to see after about 30 seconds drilling. Wash with water then dry again.drillholefishtank

The hole is formed at 65mm wide which is enough to remove the bottle.fishtank_hole

Um OK so maybe a bit daft. But you can see a number of things

  • Drilling glass is easy once you get over the psychological idea of "Will I break it"
  • Holes in glass are now very easy. Hey we make great kit
  • Its easily done by any DIY-er
  • You don't need a lot of water. In fact its better to run dry and to wipe up.
  • Thick glass is just as easy as thin glass. It just takes longer to go through.
  • The anti-slip plate is the key to accurate drilling.
  • Not suitable for toughened glass. Toughened glass will shatter.
  • Remember to wear safety glasses. Never drink (alcohol) and drill
  • No fish were harmed during the making of this expensive advert
