Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or routers to prevent cracking and achieve clean edges.
Over-drilling mounting holes, leading to stress fractures.Drill holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter and consider using washers to distribute pressure.

Common Applications
