Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking tools for cutting or drilling.Employ tools specifically designed for plastics, such as carbide-tipped blades or router bits, and maintain appropriate speeds to avoid melting or cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the polycarbonate sheet. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
