Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or routers for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential sheet failure.Employ appropriately sized fasteners with washers and allow for a slight degree of movement to accommodate thermal expansion.
