Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique, leading to cracking.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped drill bits designed for plastics and drill at a slow to moderate speed with light pressure, allowing chips to clear.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Use washers and do not overtighten; fasteners should be snug but allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.

Common Applications
