Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting tools for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
