Mine weren't perfect and i was a bit worried that they would be hard to solder on.
As long as you solder from the inside and before you cut out the holes it went together no worries. The solder held in the gaps and sealed no worries.
Good luck!

I was wondering whether or not to cut the holes first, I guess if not then you could keep the solver solder on the inside easier with the flame on the inside, with the hole cut you'd probably have to heat from outside the 3", which would draw the silver solder out, making it a bit messy. Thanks for that.
