Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress risers and potential sheet failure.Employ properly sized washers and avoid overtightening. Leave a small amount of play if thermal expansion is a concern.
