Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Use washers to distribute pressure and tighten fasteners to a snug, not forceful, fit. Consult material datasheets for recommended torque values if available.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive pads.
