    Ap t8 cages

    Hi, If we need additional holes drilled in the cage for various wires/cords - we can simply drill them ourselves - correct??

    I didn't want to risk damaging my cage.

    Yessir! Drilling is super easy, just make sure to get a drill bit that is made for pvc and it will make a super clean hole.

    AP t8s are totally awesome FYI.

    We've used "generic" drill bits with no problem; just don't try to lean on the drill and power through faster (whatever kind of bit you use!).

    Agreed. I had to buy a new bit to create a larger hole anyways, so I just went with one made for pvc. Any bit should work, just go slowly like stated above.

    Re: Ap t8 cages

    I finally got my cage. I have some questions. Do you put the sealant in first prior to the middle divider?? Also, how do you attach the cord head/prong to the cord for the rhp ??

    I read the instructions but am not sure how to insert the cord. It says kerp the ribbed wire on the right but which right?? Is it the right hand side while looking down the cord towards the prongs or looking at the prongs while standing at the end of the cord.

    Im just confused.

    Yes, seal it before adding the divider. Don't know about the cord.
