I would just check in with a glass shop for some scrap. That'll be your easiest avenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmdh Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Drilling glass is easy, just go real slow and let the bit do the work, don't try to muscle it. As soon as you get impatient and try to make it go faster you WILL break the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Buy some plumbers putty. Form into a snake and press around where you are going to drill. Fill with water. Drill. Its stupid easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how easy it is, I commend you for wanting to practice and get a little experience before committing to the mission-critical drill job. It just makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardUp Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have a 29 with a cracked side and a 10g sump I would be happy if they were not in my back yard. I am not in your zip but about 15 minutes south in Lents. Right off the 205 and Holgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
