Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking saws which can lead to melting and chipping.Utilize specialized plastic cutting tools such as fine-tooth blades, routers with plastic-specific bits, or laser cutters for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly, allowing for thermal expansion.
