Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during tightening, leading to stripping of the nylon threads.Apply torque incrementally and stop when the screw is snug. Consult torque charts for nylon fasteners if available.
Exposure to UV radiation for extended periods can degrade nylon material over time.Consider using UV-resistant nylon variants or protective coatings for outdoor applications.
