Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate fastening patterns.Employ fasteners of appropriate size and material (e.g., stainless steel) and utilize a recommended fastening pattern to distribute loads effectively and prevent premature failure.
Insufficient edge preparation before joining or sealing.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges of the aluminum sheet to ensure proper adhesion of sealants or optimal weld penetration.
