Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate attachment methods.Always select fasteners and attachment methods that meet or exceed the calculated load requirements and the material's tensile strength to prevent structural failure.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or stress concentrations.Thoroughly clean and degrease the mounting surface and the sheet itself. Ensure a uniform and smooth contact area to distribute stress evenly.

Common Applications
