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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@rodkramer616]

Make sure it's not just the screen saver that's cracked. I was about to to order a new screen when I noticed a bubble in the upper corner. I had forgotten that I had a Screen saver installed when I bought my new phone. I slowly peeled off the spiderweb looking screen saver. and to my amazement, my phones screen was defect free! The cracked screen saver was quite the illusion!

[@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.

[@Kb1ltg]

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.

[@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]

Thanks for the tip👍

[@Danielle-ii8zc]

It worked for u

[@tnargskoorb1]

I just tried that and it worked great. Thanks a lot. Gives you time to work it without it drying before you hit it with UV light.

[@simplyanuhanna]

I was able to do this to one of my phones and then put a tempered glass protector over it. This was an easy fix, thank you!

[@drakedorosh9332]

I love videos where the poster actually speaks.

[@Really2u]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@prakashdayanandan3176]

I must say i can confirm this worked a treat on my old samsung s7 .Its oldie but if it aint broke why throw it away.A little or scratch can just about be fixed 80% id say. 1st clear the affected area by wiping a little alcohol soaked ( not soaked !)towel and dry .The small hair line cracks can be rubbed out by feel and not appearance by the time you use the blade to cut off the excess epoxy .what i did different is that i taped all around the crack and over the metal edges so as to not smear it all over the place.I epoxy it but pressed the epoxy into the crack with a bit of pressure .i pulled off the tape about 5 minutes after the epoxy was applied (16 hour dying time araldite epoxy ) .I ran the epoxy area under the hair dryer for about 2 mins .and let it dry for about 10 mins after that .By that stage i could blade it out while it reasonably soft. I then repeated the process but this time when i once dry about an hour later ,i used used a very low grit sandpaper strip to rub the anodise'd metal frame to smooth out the dent on the metal next to the crack. Im surprised how well it worked .i even ran a fibre cloth to the clean edges and it didnt even catch on the cracked area . Many thanks tech minded!

[@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.

[@hasansari5882]

Hi Trent, i would like to ask you if this tool works for samsung a8

[@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???

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...

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.

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.

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.

You can also use a cigarette lighter in some applications where you’re able to articulate the flame safely without having to hold it to close to the surface for long periods of time, be careful trying that method especially when using flammable sealants, epoxy’s, glues and other compounds.

[@Aaron48219]

Dollar General, package of popsicle sticks $1. I can confirm that JB Clear Weld dries clear as well. I wonder if thinning the epoxy with denatured alcohol would help it penetrate into the cracks. An acceptable mix ratio is 15 to 20% of the volume, which means that you take 15 fluid ounces of epoxy and mix it with 1 fluid ounce of solvent. Obviously 15 fluid ounces of epoxy is *way* more than needed. This would also reduce the drying/curing time, so one would have to work quickly if using a 5 minute epoxy. I have an S7 with a cracked screen and may just try it.

[@loydkoon589]

Apple products up to the iPhone 9 do not have gorilla glass. The iphoneX is the only Apple product using Samsungs patented gorilla glass and amoled display. I would not recommend this fix as the epoxy can get into the sensitive electronics inside below those huge gaps. To do the actual replacement costs about 30 dollars for a new glass replacement with adhesive preinstalled. Takes about 30 minutes to replace and makes it factory fresh without worrying about glass chips tearing your child's fingers up if the screen breaks further.
