Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for stainless steel, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners specifically designed for marine or industrial environments.
Inadequate edge finishing, creating sharp or burred edges that pose a safety hazard.Deburr and smooth all cut edges thoroughly using files, grinding wheels, or a deburring tool to ensure a safe finish.
