Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for thermal expansion if mounting in a fixed frame.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.
