Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering material expansion/contraction.Utilize oversized holes or slotted fasteners with appropriate washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress.
Exposing the sheet to harsh chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.Consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for compatible cleaning agents and avoid contact with solvents or strong alkalis.
