Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard glass cutting tools, which can lead to chipping or fracturing.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as carbide-tipped saws or laser cutters for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
