Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing.Utilize oversized holes with elastomeric washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress concentration.
Applying excessive clamping force.Employ moderate clamping pressure, just enough to secure the sheet, avoiding localized stress points that can lead to premature failure.
