Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without appropriate washers or grommets.Utilize large-diameter washers or specialized grommets to distribute pressure evenly and prevent localized stress points that could lead to cracking.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with standard woodworking tools without proper technique.Employ sharp, specialized cutting tools designed for plastics, and use a slow feed rate with adequate coolant to prevent melting and chipping, ensuring clean edges.
