Default Cutting Fairings

Hey
I made a thread a while ago about which frame sliders I should get. Well i got some frame sliders that require a hole being cut. Anyone have suggestions on what I should use or a procedure I should use for the left side(side where clutch is)?

Should I cut from the front going through or from the back to front? I need to cut a hole at least 2 inches around so should I use a dremel or a different tool?

I appreciate anyones comments and feedback. Thanks

Quick and dirty:
1. Use a powerdrill and a hole saw.
2. Cut from outside to inside.
3. Use the dremel to clean up the rough edges.

The PlayDoh method worked great for me. Added bonus - you can snack on the playdoh while working!

Good luck! Remember, measure twice, cut once.
