Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to edges, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least twice the hole diameter when drilling.
Using solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, causing crazing or degradation.Consult the material data sheet for approved cleaning agents and adhesives. Avoid aggressive solvents like ketones and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
