[VR43000GT]

On top of wearing breathing protection, wrap your hair and most of your head up if you can. Those little platinum shreds will get in your hair and hurt like a SOB next time you brush your hair...even with a shower. I went through two large drill bits, though I forget the exact size. At the end you'll start to get large chunks of platinum which I would either hold with a pair of needle nose pliars and then try and drill at it with my other hand, or I would force the chunk to the top of the cat with anything that can serve as a pick and then beat the hell out of it with a hammer once it. Either way, good luck and it is not a fun process at all. By the time you start drilling your head should be dressed like that of a terrorist for best protection.
