I have two of these. Now i intend to use this method on them. Forgive my ignorance, but if the diagonal hole is widened (speaking of the diagonal hole show in this diagram: http://www.spudtech.com/content.asp?id=21) is widened to be the same diameter as the internal diameter of the blowgun nozzle tube, would going any larger be a case of deminishing returns? i aske because these particular valves can have the diagonal hole widened to blowgun I.D. without any visible change in integrity (i.e. bulging near drill hole, discolouration from drilling heat, etc, which would occur if the drill had gotten too close to the surface at any point). The two valves would be used on the one cannon and be triggered from the same blowgun.
