Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized router bits or saw blades formulated for polycarbonate to achieve clean cuts without chipping or melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize oversized holes and consider using rubber or neoprene washers to distribute pressure evenly when fastening.
