Question:

Answers:
Hi. Use a Glass and Tile Bit,on slow setting. And add water to it slowley. That will make it easier to drill, and wont dull the bit. But slowley is the keyword here. Bye


its called a flair tip drill bit
it looks like a arrow head
home depot sales them
With a diamond bit, there a little more expensive but there made for that purpose, and they sell them at Home Depot, Menard's, Ace Hardware or most likely in any hardware store...
When drilling the glass add drops of water or water base lubricant and try not to let the bit and the glass get so hot, you might break it.
Believe it or not, there is a very informative website about glass drilling - and it's www.drillglass.com. It has a very good Q&A section and sells a lot of drill bits, etc., to get the job done. -- -- Good luck - But more then luck, you'll need patience to learn the correct amount of pressure, speed and amount of lubrication to use.
Get a drunk relative to shoot a deer through the camps main window. Works pretty well if he holds it right up to the glass. No spiderweb.
