Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Always use neoprene-cushioned washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Exposing the sheet to aggressive chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate and avoid contact with incompatible solvents or cleaning agents.
