What kind of material are these billet holes going into?
what I mean is is it metal? wood? glass?
For metal and wood I usualy get my cordless drill and put it on full torque, this will make it do hot it slightly melts the plastic around the hole.
With wood (only in planks, not trees and such) I snap the piece in half and re-glue it, this is the most effective way of making convincing splinters.
And glass, if its 'bullet proof' but hasn't lived up to its title, treat it as metal, and if it never was bullet proof use the same as wood, but dont snap it, just scour it with a VERY sharp moddeling blade.
