Noob Q:Perlite vs drillbit size SGFC
    #14317326 - 04/19/11 01:06 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Haven't drilled holes in my SG FC yet just comparing this perlite to my 1/4 inch drill bit. It just looks like the perlite is going to fall right threw the holes if I use this drill bit. I'm rather confused because I know this recommended drill bit size..?

the perlite compacts together especially when wet the perlite will not fall out the bottom holes like one would expect, your fine. quarter IN. is what you want.

Yup. You'll get a few pieces that fall out, but not much at all. It has a porous surface which creates a lot of friction. Also, remember your holes will not be one dimensional, they will be like tiny "tunnels" through the plastic, making it that much more difficult for the perlite to get through.

If you are worried about perlite falling out, line the bottom of your shotgun with plastic window screen
