I used a soldering iron to perforate a circle out by poking a bunch of small holes then connecting the dots. Almost dismembered myself with a box knife before that so yeah.

A coffee can, oven mitts, and flame from a gas stove.  Just melts the holes.  Don't breathe the fumes.  You can do it inside without an issue.  Just make contact with one edge of the hot open mouth of the can then set it down against the surface and twist back and forth until you are done.  Then knock out the plastic with a butterknife, screwdriver or otherwise long piece of metal.

Thanks for the help. I got a 4 inch can of tomatoes (were having spaghetti tonight as a result). Built a little fire in my pit. Threw in the empty can for 5 minutes once it was going. Took it out and bang. Two PERFECT holes in 30 seconds.

Just to give you another option. I use sheet metal snips the ones that allow you to cut circles like these...

Oow tin snips are an interesting idea.
A blowdryer is smart too, I bet the fan from a dehydrator could be used as well.
Just to repeat, the main reason for cracking is shear forces on cold PP.  Warm your PP before use and most methods will work.  A nice sunny day will do it (I have a theory people who have more cracking issues live in colder climates).

What a friend did with his was drill bunch of holes in a circle..
Then go with a razor knife around.. Turned out not bad at all.
Just be careful not to slip with the blade and cut a gash in the plastic..
or worse.. your wrist or some shit.
That's if you had to do it like that lol.

I use a hole saw, don't put pressure on it, let the drill do the work.

This will prevent 95% of cracks.

Cracks that do occur get taped up. No one said it had to be pretty, just effective :wink:

Let the bit do the work, and don't force it.  The bit will get hot, but take your time and don't force the bit through.  A sharp bit is better than a dull bit in every way.

I highly advise against cutting holes with a razor.  One slip, and you are going to poke yourself.  A sharp razor will go till it hits something hard.

Its not about who beat who (I win), but that It is really the best advice for this and any other project involving a drill.  Bits look a certain way for a reason.  Forcing ANY bit through anything is a recipe for disaster.  The drill does the work by turning, not pushing.

I regularly use drills at work.  I use large scale however.  Its nothing for me to run a 12" bit through 10" or more of reinforced concrete.  If You force one of them, it overdraws amps and flips breakers OR gets the bit stuck.  There is nothing worse than having to cut apart a $1200 bit from a wall if it gets stuck....and once the teeth get busted off in your hole, you are fucked.  A hardened steel bit will not cut through a hardened steel bit.  The moral of the story:  Take your time, its not a race.  The outcome is better that way.

I used toilet flanges and a rubbermaid tub, trace outer edge of flange in the position you want on the lid of your tub. I just used a box cutter over the trace marks, easy enough, my friend used a soldering iron which I wouldnt recommend. Slide flanges into the holes in the lid of your tub and screw into place to secure flanges, gorilla tape heavy duty rubber gloves onto the tubing of the flanges that penetrate the lid, presto... glove box.
