Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to localized stress concentration.Utilize oversized washers to distribute pressure evenly across the mounting surface.
Exposing the sheet to solvents or abrasive cleaning agents that can degrade or scratch the surface.Clean using mild soap and water with a soft cloth; consult manufacturer guidelines for specific cleaning solutions.
