Chip out while drilling

[RG21]

I have a hole that i drilled in my tank for a bulkhead. It is near the top brace, and has no visible cracks running from it. It is relatively shallow, and is on the OUTSIDE of the tank. There is no chip out on the inside whatsoever. Its a 40 Breeder. Does chip out on the outside of the tank cause much leak potential? It is fully covered by the bulkhead, and the gasket on the inside has good contact because the glass on the inside is clean..

Any thoughts?

You will be fine everyone will get some chips
If that worried water test so you feel confident

Chances of the tank bursting are at most 90-95%. So you're at least 5% in the safe zone.

Kidding, you'll be fine.

Percent chance of bursting?? How did you come to that number? :p

You will be fine with a chip there.
