Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades or router bits with appropriate speed and feed rates for a clean cut.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential delamination or cracking.Utilize washers and allow for slight expansion and contraction by not fully tightening fasteners. Consider slotted holes for larger panels.
