Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for polycarbonate can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized drill bits designed for plastics or ensure proper pilot hole techniques and slow speeds.
Over-tightening fasteners can induce stress and lead to premature failure.Employ washers and tighten fasteners to a snug fit without excessive force, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications
