Great video. A bit of advice. Take a 1200 grit sandpaper and rub the cracks Then do exactly what you did but this time use a blow dryer on hot for a few seconds. What that does is makes the glue a bit easier to fill those really small cracks then wait 10-15 min like u did. This also works great on car windshields. If you have a crack from top to bottom. This will fix it I also call this glue. Instant glass. Good luck. Great video.

[@dhcourier]

Also. Use a 1200 1500. 2000 and 3000 grit papers and polish your glass. The friction from these very very fine sand papers will heat up the glue and the glass and will become one.

Curved glass too 😥 I don't think this would be a good idea with a curved screen, too much of a gap between the glass and the LCD panel, I'd be afraid this stuff would drip inside, and damage the actual display.

[@samscrivner476]

You should take a heat gun or if you don’t have access to a heat gun then use a hair dryer, everyone has a hair dryer around the house. The heat help thin the compound allowing it to fill the smaller cracks and also makes all of the air bubbles rise to the surface. Without applying the extra heat the an epoxy, glue or other adhesive compounds you run the risk of not completely filling and sealing the desired area. So if possible always use extra heat when pouring a sealant or adhesive and you won’t have to worry about air bubbles being trapped throughout the glue, the compound will thin out and fill smaller cracks and spaces more easily and leave you with a clear glass like product.

[@danielcalvo4635]

Do you think epoxy is still the best way to go about fixing those cracks?

[@montinaladine3264]

Good video and results. Some advice though for an even better (less noticeable) repair) is a very important step that I think you completely missed. And one that is essential for a device which has been handled hundreds of times by hands. CLEANING preparation! That screen needs to be properly cleaned with alcohol - I can't think of anything else that would work as effectively. Not poured in, so it could get under the glass and damage or stain something, but rubbed in well into the damage and all around so that the resin will bond even better than in this video. Hands and fingers have natural oils and that will be ALL over that glass and in the cracks as well. You need to remove that oil film and grubbiness first.

A common playing card cut down the middle makes a nice smoothing tool instead of the plastic knife. Well done. I use epoxy for most everything.

[@theautodan7095]

Im just learning about this wonder goo. Will be using it on everything now...!!!

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

those gas station loyalty cards work wonders for this and lots of other stuff too. I snag a few different types at every gas station I can for whatever occasion I need, from jimmying my door to acting like a spreader or squeegee, can't underestimate the versatility of a playing card or various thickness and material loyalty cards.

[@RaymondLohengrin]

From RC model building experience this epoxy tip. After applying the epoxy, cover with clear packing tape and press as flat as possible. Once dry the surface will be as smooth as glass.

[@stranger07.44]

Perfect, been wondering what to do on the truck bodies that I bash with

[@MechanicWelder94]

Sticky side up (away from screen, non sticky side toward screen)? Does the tape come off clean? Or are you saying leave it on???

[@SerenoOunce]

Idea is to get the epoxy *in* the glass, not sitting on top. Not practical for screen repair.

[@intothevortex7825]

Get a baby proof silicon cover and a glass screen protector. Problem solved

[@lauriecabbage29]

This was great. Anything that stops the spider cracks is a winner. Those just continue to grow. They drop fine pieces of glass. This fix stops them. That is really cool. Watched a few of your videos. You have a nice professional voice. A great instructor teaching style. Have you taught anywhere before? Just wondering. I just get that from your videos. Great job. Look forward to watching more. I now have a phone with edge cracks. I just want to use it as a tablet. I think this might be perfect. Thank you. Keep making great videos.

[@tassiemurdock2893]

I used that glue with the blue light to cure it and it lasted on my phone for over a year. I pressed it down into the cracks then wiped excess off screen before i set the glue. I had little cracks up to chunks of glass missing...worked light magic

[@chakawaka4049]

[@bawlash7292]

В таких случаях эпоксидную смолу надо разводить ацетоном. Тогда клей легко затекает во все щели, меньше расход и легко удалить лишнее. Видео сильно затянуто, все можно было показать короче.

[@PaDutchRunner]

This is why you use B-7000 instead of this stuff. B-7000 is self-leveling, eliminating the need for the razor blade treatment. It also comes with a precise applicator which precludes the "nuclear" treatment as shown in this video.

[@ottovuorio382]

Why all the fucking dislikes?? This is what I absolutely hate about people. They don't think logically, they don't even try it out for themselves, nor ask someone else if it worked or not, propably don't even watch the video and automatically say it's a bad idea and keep going by the endless dogmatic bullshit.

[@dennissitnikov5170]

it is better to use B-7000 (Chinese) or Moment Crystal glues. EPOXY looks UGLY )))

I'd probably add a bit of heat or a drop of lacquer thinker to make it runny. Or I would use the UV curing glue, it is very runny, but good job.

[@TrentPierceProjects]

Thanks! I may try that in a future video

[@john19799]

Handy tip but for $30 on ebay i would rather just replace the screen

[@eclipsesh6567]

[@patrickscheidegger3714]

A squeegee for screen printing works BEST. Available at any art supply store... And POLYCRYLIC (spray or liquid, but LIQUID WORKS BEST) available at any hardware store... That’s what we use to fix the glass on the BIG SOLAR PANELS at the farm... Also how I’ve fixed countless screens for my clumsy friends... OR you can use those “Safelife”-type windshield repair kits, that they sell at any auto-parts store - but those are pricey...

[@MrBobWareham]

In England they have car screen repairers that under insurance will come out and repair a stone chip on the front car screen and this is done under pressure where the hole is cleaned and then pressure filled with a clear epoxy filler then polished so you cant see the chip. Bob in the UK

Place a piece of paper wax paper or clear tape over the epoxy and once dried and removed it will be smooth as glass and no need to sand it. I use this technique to make RC model airplanes.

[@larryadkins4766]

How much epoxy

[@profdleeucc]

One can also use the yellow captan tape that is semi-opaque yellow colored non-stick non-conductive tape that when removed the glass will be completely smooth without having the need to sand it.

[@MasterMindWC]

You need to put the phone or tablet in a vacuum to complete the repair. Once you apply the epoxy, put it in a vacuum and suck all the air out and then let sit. The epoxy will be sucked into the cracks and reduce the viability of the cracks.

[@Man-Chan]

just wanted to say that it would have been much easier to remove most of the excess epoxy if you used the razor within the 5 allotted minutes . around the 3-4 minute mark after mixing the 2 parts its no longer runny but still soft enough to cut/scrape .

[@TrentPierceProjects]

I was afraid it would pull some of the other epoxy out of the crack if I didn't let it fully dry first

[@whourdadie]

@@TrentPierceProjects It's POSSIBLE it pulls loose/up some when trying to cut it with the razor after it sets too. Maybe do another video trying both ways to see which worked easier???

So I have hairline cracks on my screen that are not as severe as those in your tutorials. You have three methods I believe super glue, epoxy, and nail polish. Which is the better method? Also, regarding the comments that you were a bit carefree with the razor, I agree -- wear gloves and secure the phone. That said, If you do cut yourself, wipe off the blood the pour super glue on it. Super was invented as an emergency battlefield suture. Then you'll good to go.

[@javiiermendes]

If it is true, the 2-part epoxy is used to repair a screen that still works with the touch screen. Seal the crack so it doesn't break, but it's not a long-term thing. It's just so you can use it for a while when you buy the screen or another phone.
