Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized router bits or saw blades designed for polycarbonate to prevent chipping and ensure clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
