humidity+pinblock work

[Ron Nossaman]

I don't think it makes a heck of a lot of difference with something like
Delignit or Falconwood. I use Delignit, and about the only concession I make
in drilling is for destined usage, I will use a 6.8mm bit normally, and
17/64" if it's going into a pathologically poor climate control situation
like a church or school system. In either case I double drill, 1/4" followed
by whichever to ream to size. No problems to speak of.
