Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics or a standard bit with a slow speed and proper cooling to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Employ washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not overly tight; allow for thermal expansion if necessary.

Common Applications
