Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten connections and then apply only an additional quarter-turn if necessary. Avoid power tools for tightening.

Common Applications
