I see that discussion went in a very serious direction so I just want to share an idea for fabricating dimples to a bellypan. Why just not drill or cut the holes in a coroplast or aluminium and close those with anopther piece of coroplast?



1 - bellypan
2 - additional layer of coroplast
3 - hole

What do you think of that?
