Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized router bits, saws, or laser cutters recommended for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners or using incompatible adhesives, causing stress fractures or delamination.Employ a fastening system with a washer to distribute load, or select adhesives specifically formulated for polycarbonate, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications
