1. Tape with paper-type tape around the slot-to-be, mark it. 2. Then make indentation with paper-cutter. 3. Heat paper-cutter (sharp thin blade knife) -- you might be able to get one type that can fit into your soldering iron. 4. Slice the plastic with the heated-cutter. It should slice the plastic like a piece of butter. 5. goback to 3, until done ** Hot enough cutter is crucial, and be careful that it doesnot become so hot that melt the holder.
