Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screwUse a torque wrench set to a low to moderate setting appropriate for plastic fasteners to prevent stripping or cracking the threads.
Using incompatible thread-locking compoundsEnsure any thread-locking agents used are compatible with polycarbonate to avoid material degradation or embrittlement.

Common Applications
