Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that may corrode with aluminum.Employ fasteners made from compatible materials like stainless steel or anodized aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to sheet deformation.Use torque-limiting tools or hand-tighten fasteners to prevent excessive stress and potential buckling of the sheet.
