Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without a pilot hole.Always drill a pilot hole and use a sharp drill bit specifically designed for plastics to prevent cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration.Utilize washers and do not overtighten fasteners. Leave slight play to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications
