Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades and consider using a coolant or lubricant during the cutting process.
Over-tightening fasteners when mounting, causing stress cracks.Use oversized holes for fasteners and allow for thermal expansion with appropriate washers or grommets.
