Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners for the specific load requirements.Consult engineering drawings and load calculations to select fasteners (e.g., high-strength bolts, rivets) rated for the anticipated stresses.
Inadequate surface preparation before attachment, leading to poor adhesion or compromised structural integrity.Ensure all mating surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Mechanical cleaning or chemical degreasing may be necessary.

Common Applications
