cutting holes for a still-air box
    #11256299 -

I was trying to cut arm holes in a sterilite and found that a razor blade didn't work so well. How do people get nice even 4" or so diameter holes in thick plastic?

Although i may advise others in a general way regarding all types of mushroom grows, and may even post question from other forums about growing "active" mushrooms, i only grow non-"active" mushrooms and edibles.

Large size cans.  I used the can from a family size refried beans. ~P~

EDIT: And remember to put the holes in the front of the tub, not the sides.

I just heat up the blade and it takes like 10 mins per hole for me... I just relax w my vaporizer and melt away.

I always just used a dremel, but it can get messy with all the shavings.

Christianity has a built-in defense system; anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go "Show me."

i modified the jug for growing mushrooms of course.. I had some success without the holes, but decided it was necessary for FAE.

If you have a decent drill, a holesaw works wonders. (Not just for boxes but also for monotubs...)

Cheers. :beer:

Turn the stove burner up all the way. Set an empty coffee can on the hot burner until the can gets really hot. (Using oven mitts, obviously,) grab the hot can and use it to make your arm holes.

Easy, clean, and effective.

If you decide to use heat and burn or melt holes in it don't breath in the fumes.
