Should I use this monotub?
    #21241134 - 02/07/15 08:19 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Drilling 1" holes with a spade bit in new monotub and my POS drill didn't hold the bit all the way through. Should I still use it? The cracks around the misshapen hole don't seem to go all the way through. I have more tubs if I need to discard.

Duct tape like he said.

I think it'll be fine as is though.

Just be careful stressing it.

It will only crack more.

You can always use a plastic welder though if you're into that lol

I'm OCD, if you want it nice and pretty, hit Home Depot/Lowes etc, get a piece of metal pipe (copper, galvanized, whatever), and a pair of BBQ'ing gloves, heat it up on your stove, grab it (glove on!!!) and burn your holes in the tub.

I use my torch lighter to heat the plastic up (in the bathroom with fan lol) then push a screw driver through the soft plastic because i had that exact problem where my tub was splitting/shattering.

Or as suggested above ^^ a circular drill bit
