Hi John. I haven't tried this, but you could glue-in a length of one of those red tubes that come with cans of WD40. You might even be able to chuck it in a drill and drive it through the minicell.

: Several times it has been suggested that it is wise to put a 1/16" (or
: maybe it was 1/32") hole in a wooden bulkhead for air expansion and
: contraction. I am making my bulkheads with 3" thick minicell foam
: this time. Does anyone put a small hole in their foam bulkheads, and if
: so, how? Thanks,

: John
