Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the cutting surface is clean and free of debris. Utilize appropriate cutting tools designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth saw or CNC router, to achieve precise dimensions without chipping or cracking. 2. Deburr all cut edges to remove any sharp or rough material. This is crucial for safety and to prevent stress concentrations that could compromise structural integrity. 3. If bonding or thermoforming, ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free of any contaminants. Follow manufacturer guidelines for appropriate adhesives or heating parameters specific to polycarbonate.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard wood cutting tools which can cause chipping and excessive heat build-up.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades for plastics or a CNC router. Maintain appropriate feed rates and cooling to prevent melting and ensure clean cuts.
Applying excessive force during drilling or fastening, leading to stress cracks.Drill pilot holes and use appropriate drill bits for plastics. Allow for thermal expansion by not over-tightening fasteners and consider using oversized holes with grommets.
