drilling glass

[sierrap615]

i know drilling thru glass requires a special drill bit, but i can't remember what type, i want to say diamond-tip but can some one confirm? i'm trying to modify some candle holders for a christmas gift.

thanks- Sierra

Sure. Vermont American makes drill bits for glass. They look sorta like an arrowhead and are impregnated with diamonds on the tip. Someone else may know what lubricant to use, but make sure you use it and go slowly. It will take a while.

Use turpinetine and drill slow, real fuckin SLOW, or you'll wish you never tried it.
