| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using excessive force during polishing, leading to uneven material removal. | Apply moderate, consistent pressure and work in a systematic pattern to ensure uniform surface refinement. |
| Not cleaning the sheet and the workpiece thoroughly before starting, resulting in embedded contaminants. | Thoroughly clean both the Aluminum 6061 sheet and the workpiece with an appropriate solvent or degreaser to prevent scratching and contamination. |
