Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper spacing or washers.Employ oversized holes with nylon washers or specialized polycarbonate fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent localized stress.
Cutting or drilling with dull tools.Utilize sharp, high-speed cutting and drilling tools specifically designed for plastic to prevent chipping, melting, and stress fractures.
