Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits which can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or pilot holes with a slight taper.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress points and potential fracture.Employ washers and do not overtighten fasteners; allow for thermal expansion.
