Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and achieve clean edges.
Applying excessive force during fastening, leading to stress cracks.Employ pilot holes and use fasteners with washers to distribute pressure evenly, and avoid over-tightening.
