Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inadequate fasteners for the sheet's weight and load.Always select fasteners rated for the projected load and ensure they are properly anchored into a substantial substrate.
Exposing the brass to highly acidic or alkaline environments without protective coatings.While brass is corrosion-resistant, consider sealing or coating for extreme chemical exposures to maintain long-term integrity.
