Being a little too loose is not the end of the world if you can mist appropriately. Better a bit loose than too tight.

Its still pretty loose, i just noticed like two of my holes werent filled properly lol meaning i cut the holes uneven as fuck on this tub and they had gaps that werent being filled
This tub was harder to cut and i couldnt find anyone with a drill, my other tub the holes are pertty much perfect
I'll see how these new holes wrk out and adjust as i go if needed

I make mine with a solder iron, been making some pretty fucking perfect holes lately with it.
Some people remove the top poly altogether after pins.

Soldering iron work but be careful inhaling plastic fumes or any burnoff. As supalemonhaze said, you can remove the top poly when pins show or even keep the lid cracked open slightly. Just keep a eye on the sub so it doesn't dry out. Especially overnight or when you're away it's probably best to loose fill the holes or close the lid back.

Lol im gonna have to make new tubs i can get a sautering iron forsure from my friend didnt even think of that til i saw it on a thread i was just on and now you guys saying it.
i'll have to try the poly out of the top when i have pins i dont sleep much at night so i wouldnt worry about it drying before i wake up mainly when im at work is when id worry, ill just have to experiment when that time comes
Idk if this could be it but i realized i had epsom salt laying open in my room from drying stuff from the field that may be why my room got all dry but idk if it has that much power to it just a guess

I got a 1.5" holesaw bit for my drill. I think it was about $3. I've used it dozens of times, so I think it was a smart buy. I couldn't be bothered soldering holes. supa has to go about things differently because he lives on the moon.

Is your a/c running a lot? That will bring humidity down dramatically, you have to learn a balance when dailing poly in on monos. I don't use fans during winter or summer bc the heat and ac pull the humidity down enough. During milder months where neither are on I will run a fan to create airflow and much looser poly than usual because the humidity is higher.
I don't think that open salt would change anything in a room though.

Haha I use the same thing. Holesaw bits rock. Start off slow with little pressure, let the drill do the work and you won't get a single crack. Plus cleanup is a breeze!

for 1/4in holes ad the like i use a drill, but i used my soldering iron to make my SAB holes, and will have to for future montubs.
thinking about getting a bit, now that you mentioned that. i always assumed i would have to buy a specific new drill, and not just a bit haha! im not a tool man, obviously. the more i learn that drills can do, the more impressed i get with mine. they are cool little tools, man. can do so many different things.

Ac isnt on much it doesnt get to hot inside most of the tike til the late afternoon thats when i run it, it stayed fine til i fell asleep and woke up. Maybe i should stop running my fan in my room see how that goes.
Lol didnt think it was the salt but i had to put it out there just incase lol
And i cant get a drill or id get the bit nobody i know has one and i have no real point to get one lol sautering iron will work for me i already know someone who has one

yeah, a soldering iron will work just fine. just try not to inhale too many fumes =p
maybe do it outside. thats what i did. but i just looked on amazon, i think im gonna get a little hole saw bit kit, 16 bits with sizes between 3/4in to 5in, and then also buy a separate 6in bit, as well. i think that would cover all the holes i would ever really need to make. plus its like $13, and i get to use amazon prime fo free =D
EDIT - on second glance, reading the reviews, maybe ill want to just forgo this kit and just buy 2-3 single bits that are of better quality =p

This is exactly what I do for all my tubs. Attach the saw to the drill and lay thee sides of the tub on something solid, preferably an old piece of plank considering you're likely to hit it.
Living on the moon is not very far from his reality, trust me

A drill can take you quite far in this hobby. Mine never leaves the growroom. Just food for thought.
And I know where supa lives, that's why I said that

yeah. it really isnt all that bad using a soldering iron for it. just need a somewhat steady hand, and a traced circle. i just really like having clean-looking holes. which is hard to do with the iron, with bigger holes, because of dripping plastic. but then, drills will sometimes make the holes a little jagged, too. or have it to where it sorta extends while you drill, umm. hard to explain. like this:

see how those holes have plastic extending in like that? i hate that haha. i usually have to go after i drill and use my x-acto to make it clean.

Lol when i did my holes with a super heated blade i went through with an exacto knife and cleaned it up after, i could have done way better if i had thought of the iron that blade was annoying
