Fill a small bowl with water and keep it next to you while you re drilling.

The answer is to drill your own drainage holes. So how can you take advantage of cool looking ceramic pots vases bowls candy dishes punch bowls or whatever if they have no way to drain excess water. Periodically dip the tip of the bit in the water to cool it off and prevent it from overheating. Begin drilling into and through the duct tape.

Do not push excessively on the drill body. The process of drilling through a thick ceramic porcelain sink is slow. The angling of the drill will again help to prevent any skittering across the surface. You can drill a clean hole through s ceramic porcelain sink without causing damage.
