Troubleshooting

Wedge is difficult to insert.

Ensure the tapered end is being used for insertion. You may need to use a tapping tool to gently insert the wedge. If the gap is too tight, consider a thinner shim or trimming the wedge.

Shim cracks or breaks under pressure.

Reduce the load on the shim. Consider using a thicker shim or multiple shims to distribute the weight more evenly. Ensure the load is not excessive for the shim's size and material.
