    Ah yeah that is the stuff Parashooter. People give it different names it seems. Brian Dickicon measured some to be 2.3mm diameter, the stuff I have is 2.5mm. I feel like there should be some way other than just drilling it out entirely, I mean this seems like such a common issue someone must have an effective simple fix. I can't see a picture on your post Para sorry mate. An up close pic would be nice however, cheers.
