Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel or specialized aluminum-compatible fasteners to prevent electrochemical reactions and ensure long-term integrity.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing deformation or stress fractures in the aluminum sheet.Utilize a torque wrench set to the recommended specification for aluminum and the chosen fasteners to ensure secure attachment without over-stressing the material.
