| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard metal drilling bits without proper speeds and feeds. | Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or high-speed steel bits with reduced spindle speed and slower feed rates to prevent cracking and melting. |
| Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations. | Use washers and allow for sufficient clearance around fastener holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress fractures. |
