[MRCA] very OT: plastics

Hi friends, this is very off topic. I am looking for something like a Tupperware to mount on top of an antenna coupler to keep the HV connector out of the elements. I need something about 4 ¾ in diameter and 4.5" to 5" high. I have found something but I am not sure if the plastic is soft and easy to drill. My choices are polystyrene or polypropylene. I know some plastic jars are rather hard and can crack. I am looking for a soft plastic that will drill easily. Are either of these good choice? Or should I be looking at something different, maybe LDPE or HDPE (I know literally nothing about plastics)

thanks
