Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and hand-tighten fasteners, allowing for material expansion and contraction.
