Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, specialized saw blades or routers designed for plastic cutting to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ appropriate washers and allow for expansion/contraction by not overtightening hardware; consider slotted holes for mounting.
