It is soft material and the nail goes right in, pull it out and the vacuum is equalized. then do what ever else you need to. I've aready got about 2k in glass and have been looking for a way to maximumize the return, I'm going to have to put together one of those cutters that I read about, the one with the DC power source, thanks for that idea.

That idea was posted here about a year ago, that's why we recommend the newer people do quite a bit of reading.

Hoss said he pokes a hole in the lil plug under the suction cup, i just drilled a hole in it
