A gap is a small opening that allows access to a site . The term, which derives from boca , is also used to name the hole made in a wall or a wall.

Gap concept
The notion of gap can be used with reference to a slit or crack in a symbolic sense . In this way, someone could say that a lawyer took advantage of a legal loophole to get a person convicted of murder released, or that funds contributed by an investor to a company were lost due to a gap in the accounts.
The most common use of the concept , however, refers to a physical hole that occurs in a construction or an object. Creating holes to enter a closed place is a common criminal technique. Criminals who make holes for the purpose of robbery are called boqueteros . A group of punchers, in this sense, can make a hole in the roof of a clothing store to access the establishment when it is closed and thus steal merchandise.
The gaps can be made of different materials.
How they are done
Gouges are not always made in cement or brick surfaces; In fact, in decoration works it is often necessary to drill a hole in a glass panel, something that requires prior knowledge and a lot of attention to avoid accidents.
First of all, as in any other case, we must find the right drill bit , which should always be harder than the material to be drilled. To do this we must identify the type of glass, taking into account that you cannot make a hole in tempered or safety glass.
Beyond the drill bit, the tools and accessories we need to make a hole in a glass structure are not special: most household electric drills work, as well as the gloves and protective glasses that we must put on to do so. reduce the chances of injury. This does not mean that we can use a drill in the same way on a wall as on a window: to drill holes in glass it is necessary to reduce the power, which inevitably extends the process.
If the object to be drilled is relatively small, it is recommended to place it inside a plastic container before starting to drill, having previously placed a few sheets of newspaper inside. An alternative is to rest it on a pad that can adapt to its shape. The important thing is to never hold the object with your hand while drilling a hole.
To prevent the drill bit from slipping while we are drilling, something that in the best of cases can ruin the work, it is advisable to cover the surface with a sheet of thick cardboard and adhere it with tape or glue.
