Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades or router bits specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
