Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distances when drilling, typically at least twice the thickness of the sheet.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, and a soft cloth. Consult manufacturer guidelines for approved cleaning agents.
Failing to account for thermal expansion in mounting, causing bowing or stress.Incorporate slotted holes or expansion gaps in the mounting design to accommodate temperature-induced dimensional changes.

Common Applications
