Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Employ washers and allow for thermal expansion by not over-tightening fasteners; drill oversized holes if necessary.
