Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can lead to cracking.Employ brad-point drill bits and drill at a slow speed with steady pressure.
Applying excessive force during fastening, causing stress fractures.Utilize washers and do not overtighten screws or bolts; allow for thermal expansion.
