It helps to use a thin pice if cardboard, or really thick paper to make a template of your hole before you cut out a sheet metal patch.
Great advice Jon, I use the piece of metal I cut out as a template if possible. It has worked well so far. The hole will be twice the size it is now once blasted. That has been my experience so far.
