Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting saws for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion by not overtightening screws; consider slotted holes if significant thermal expansion is anticipated.

Common Applications
