Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use properly sized fasteners and washers, and tighten them only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents not compatible with polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water, or a polycarbonate-specific cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or harsh solvents.
