Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without peck drilling.Employ a sharp drill bit designed for plastics and use a peck drilling technique to clear chips and prevent overheating.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Utilize appropriately sized washers and hand-tighten fasteners, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications
