You want the holes small enough to allow the water to build up a little on the top of the plate to disperce across the top for even distrobution but large enough to prevent a back up..
As stated above, 1/8" should do the trick... You could always start with smaller ones and then drill them out if needed..
The one I did had smaller ones in the middle and larger around the edges. This was to insure that there would be no blockage of water.

what do you think " I read that do not drill holes in the center of the drip plate ,so when the water comes down its not forced right down the center, also leave a boarder with no holes so it builds up aliitle . like what you said before .
