I have non-perforated release films and i want perforated film, so what would i use to make the holes, a needle, a tack? Anyone done this?

Just like what I posted at FG, use a sewing tracer wheel tool. Just don’t tell the wife… :lol:

Thanks All. I just didn’t want the holes too small or too big.

Seems kind of tedious but you can do whatever you want to poke holes into it. Ghetto rigging is ghetto rigging, there is no wrong way since they’re all ghetto.
