Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately support the load.Always select fasteners with a shear and tensile strength rating that exceeds the anticipated load on the sheet.
Insufficient edge finishing leading to stress concentration points.Deburr and smooth all cut edges to prevent premature failure and improve structural integrity.

Common Applications
