Yea pretty much. Any sealant that’s waterproof and can adhere to plastic. Usually silicon based. The one I had said “RTV Silicon.” I didn’t choose that specifically, just had it lying around.
Funny you say that because I didn't really center them. They're kinda wonky but I guess it looks better on camera. I tried centering them by using a really small drill bit first then moving the larger size. The proper way would be to use a center punch. If you dont have that, use a small bit and try marking a point by twisting it with your hand, may help. Don't remember the exact bit size but I'll look thru my tools tmr and update this comment if I figure it out. As I mentioned in the video I think going slightly bigger than me would be a good idea to get a better light output.
For sure bro thank you so much. yea this new set i’m doing i’ll definitely be drilling a pilot hole my first set of clears i ended up cracking the red piece multiple times so i had to superglue it back together lmaoo i want this next set to be perfect so i’m trying to do as much research as possible haha lmk bro
@@awstin2440 My bits aren’t marked but it measured ~5.7mm in diameter. Surprised yours cracked. Don’t think I was that gentle haha. Good luck with the new set!
Trempro 644 Silicon. Didn’t mention it in the video because I already had it from doing some home reno stuff and I didn’t know if it was the best option for plastic. I would say look for anything that says silicone sealant. Bonus if it mentions it’s for plastics. The Trempro didn’t say plastic but still worked.
this is a great vid thanks man u killed it
Thanks! Trying to be as helpful as possible.
super helpful vid thank you!

Still in progress. Hoping to finish by next week if I have enough time. It’s trickier than I thought.
So wait you used rtv or what kind of sealer?
