Right, I'd seen your web page before, but had forgotten about your talking
about Dremels. I'd think the plastic in my containers is a bit harder than that
in yours, you certainly can't bend it. I've tried your paperclip and soldering
iron trick, but it takes forever and the compartments in my boxes are quite
small; wouldn't want to poke a hole in the bottom by accident. :) I dunno,
perhaps my soldering iron is too low in capacity or perhaps my paperclip wasn't
wound tightly enough. Then there's also the difference in plastic.
