Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized routers for clean cuts without inducing stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Use oversized holes and appropriate washers with hand-tightening, or a controlled torque wrench for secure mounting.
