Start with a small bit size and if the nozzle attachment still doesn't fit, make the hole slightly bigger. Be careful not to drill out the other side.

			#* To ensure a tight seal, make the drill hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the mister. Then, use moderate force to put the non-nozzle end of the mister into the main hose. The hose will be slightly flexible and accommodate this, closing and sealing around the tapered end of the attachment.
			# Add aerator attachment to the hose's long "tail" that hangs to the ground, where it will be connected to the white hose that connects to the hose bub. Add the end cap to the end of the hose, which will be the end of the hose.
