First time drilling a tank

[Westoncase]

I drilled a 40 breeder today, the whole drilling process is actually really easy but im kinda worried about the hole i made. Theres a decent looking chip on the Dryside of the tank. Is the tank still useable?

Thoughs?:|

Its hard to tell how bad the chip is but this looks similar of what happened to me on the last few tanks I drilled. The bulkheads sealed it up pretty well though. They have been running for about two years.

Should be okay, look closely for any fracture marks leading away from the chip.

it happens all the time...Called oystering in the glass business. Just a little to much down force pressure on the last 1-2% of the drilling. 100% ok

Looks okay to me.

As long as the bulkhead is covering it you should be ok

I dont see hairline cracks or anything so
