Step 1:
The first step is to take away part of the lid of the container and to replace it with fly screen. The idea is to use the soldering iron to melt away the corners of the area you wish to remove and then cut away the rest with the hacksaw blade.

|  | Sponsor | Join Date: Dec-06 Location: Port Macquarie Age/Gender: 34 | | | | Hi I get a bucket with a lid and cut a hole in the lid place a piece of steel gauze on top of it and then I get a hot soldering iron an run it over the steel gauze melting it to the plastic lid. I find that is the best thing to store pin head crix in |

|  | I love it LOUD! Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Sutherland Shire NSW Age: 32 | | | | If you only have a pathetic soldering iron like myself (20w) it may not get hot enough to do it well, therefore I just ran a line of 'hard as nails' along where the mesh sits on the lid and push it into it. The hard as nails is fairly thick so as long as your mesh is fairly flat, it will hold it and dry hard. Did the job well with mine. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Hunter Valley | | | | my pin heads live in a click clack on top of my freezer. Even when I take the lid off they arent anywhere near big enough to jump out, even medium sized ones cant seem to jump out. My bigger ones live outside in a 52 litre tub by the back door without a lid (well, they did, until some bird had a field day and ate them all, now the lid is securely back on with holes drill in the top!)

If you are using a substrate then its very hard to seperate them from the flooring.
