Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking over time.Use oversized holes for fasteners and install with washers to distribute load evenly; do not overtighten.
