Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized saw blades with a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle for clean, chip-free cuts in polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and allow for slight expansion by not fully tightening fasteners, especially in temperature-fluctuating environments.
