Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes and appropriate washers to allow for polycarbonate's thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress cracking.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, to maintain optical clarity and prevent scratching.
