In this picture you can see my drill bit going through the lagenaria rootstock in preparation to recieve the melon scion. This was the smallest drill bit in my drill index. The bit you use should be slightly smaller than the melon stem's width. You want it to be a snug fit.
You can see it is done at a pretty good angle so as not to bust through into the hollow part of the stem. If you do bust through there is a chance that your watermelon scion may grow a root down through and you don't want that. You want only gourd roots supporting the plant.
