Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized saw blades for polycarbonate or laser cutting equipment for a clean, precise edge.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly. Hand-tighten fasteners.
