Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can crack or stress the polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for plastics, such as nylon or self-tapping screws with appropriate pilot holes. Ensure washers are used to distribute load.
Overtightening fasteners, leading to spider-web cracking or deformation of the sheet.Tighten fasteners only until snug, ensuring even pressure. For larger sheets, consider slotted holes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
