Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and avoid overtightening fasteners; allow for slight thermal expansion and contraction.
