Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise cuts on polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and allow for thermal expansion by not fully seating fasteners.
