Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too small or not designed for the shear forces involved.Employ oversized, load-rated washers and bolts specifically designed for high-stress sheet material applications.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking of the polycarbonate.Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications, utilizing a calibrated torque wrench.
