Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades (e.g., carbide-tipped) and manage cutting speed to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the Nylon.Use washers and torque fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for Nylon or a snug fit without excessive force.
