Installation Procedure

1. Measure and mark desired cut lines on the polycarbonate sheet using a fine-tip marker and a straight edge. 2. Utilize a high-speed saw with a fine-tooth blade (e.g., carbide-tipped) for clean cuts, ensuring proper cooling to prevent melting. 3. Deburr cut edges with a fine-grit sandpaper or file for a smooth finish.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a dull blade or incorrect saw type, leading to chipping or melting.Employ a sharp, fine-tooth blade and consider a circular saw or jigsaw with appropriate settings for plastic.
Applying excessive force during cutting, which can cause stress fractures.Allow the saw to do the work; maintain a steady, controlled pace without forcing the material.
