Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or sealing.Thoroughly clean all contact surfaces with an industrial degreaser and ensure they are completely dry before proceeding.
Using fasteners that are not compatible with aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize stainless steel or anodized aluminum fasteners to prevent corrosion when joining dissimilar metals.
