Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize a fine-tooth saw or specialized plastic cutting blade for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress fractures or deformation.Employ washers and avoid overtightening; allow for slight expansion and contraction.
