Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools with sharp blades and appropriate feed rates to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners snugly but avoid excessive force, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
