Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits or saws not designed for plastics.Utilize carbide-tipped or specialized plastic cutting tools to prevent chipping and melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge or over-tightening fasteners.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes and use appropriate washers with fasteners to distribute load, avoiding stress cracks.
