| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion. | Always use 304 stainless steel fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the assembly. |
| Over-tightening fasteners, causing deformation of the sheet. | Apply torque gradually and evenly, ensuring the sheet remains flat and undamaged. |
