Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or routers for clean, precise cuts. Maintain appropriate feed rates to avoid overheating.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks and compromising structural integrity.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque. Ensure mounting holes are slightly oversized to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
