Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too small or too close together, leading to cracking.Utilize appropriately sized fasteners with washers to distribute load and drill pilot holes slightly larger than the screw shank to allow for thermal expansion.
Applying excessive force during fastening, causing localized stress and potential fracture.Tighten fasteners to a snug fit, avoiding over-tightening. Consider using self-tapping screws designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
