Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized saw blades for polycarbonate, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking of the polycarbonate sheet.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Hand-tighten fasteners and allow for slight expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
