Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without appropriate washers.Utilize specialized plastic fasteners or standard fasteners with large, load-spreading washers to prevent cracking.
Drilling holes too close to the edge of the sheet.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2x sheet thickness for drilled holes to mitigate stress concentration.

Common Applications
