Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without pilot holes, leading to spider cracks.Always drill pilot holes and use a sharp drill bit designed for plastics. Gradually increase the drill bit size if necessary.
Securing the sheet too tightly with fasteners, causing stress points.Utilize oversized holes or slots for fasteners and consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly. Allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications
