Let'south Begin!
Step 1

Affix a slice of double-sided agglutinative tape forth each edge of the digitizer. The idea is to class a closed border so that once you utilise the LOCA glue it cannot escape across the edges of the digitizer.Also apply record along the top and bottom edges of the frame, equally seen in the photo.

Brand sure the tape does not cover any part of the display or whatsoever other equipment such as the front-facing camera or lite sensor.

Stride 2

Place the phone on a flat, even surface and remove the protective layer from each piece of the agglutinative tape using a pair of tweezers.

Now apply the LOCA glue to the digitizer in the shape shown in the photo. This volition requite the gum the best chance of spreading out evenly once the glass is installed. Endeavour non to employ more than the amount shown.

Apply the glue slowly and advisedly and then that it is free of whatever air bubbling. It is easiest to practise this when using an applicator gun. If yous exercise get whatever bubbling y'all tin pop them with a needle or tweezers.

Step 3

Move the bottom edge of your new, previously prepared display glass into position equally shown. Rest the height of the drinking glass onto a long flat instrument such equally a spudger tool, and so that you are able to lower it downwardly hands onto the digitizer.

Stride four

With the assistance of the tool, slowly lower the glass downwards towards the digitizer until information technology makes contact with the mucilage. You volition see how the glue begins to spread out as in the photo.

Allow the drinking glass to gradually brand more than and more contact with the glue.

You must do this very slowly otherwise air bubbling tin can form between the mucilage and the drinking glass. If this does happen, information technology is still possible at this stage to remove them past slowly raising the glass and popping them with a needle.

Step 5

One time you have lowered the glass every bit far as it will become, remove the tool. The weight of the glass pressing onto the glue will cause it to proceed spreading out.

At present you lot tin apply some gentle pressure to the glass with your fingers, pushing the mucilage out towards the edges.

Stride half dozen

To force the glue into the corners of the display, grip the phone in your manus and apply a bit more force per unit area using your thumb.

If the glue will not stay there by itself, while pressing the glass, apply UV low-cal to the corner of the display for 30 seconds. This will stop the glue running back out.

Make certain you are happy that the glue has fully covered the display. If yous notice whatever air bubbles in the mucilage it is at present too late to practise much nearly them. Yous can try forcing them to the sides by pressing on the glass but this will usually result in the glue running out and can get very messy. (If attempting this, please make sure to wear rubber gloves and have paper towels standing by!)

Pace 7

Now you lot demand to apply UV calorie-free evenly across the glass for 2 minutes, and then that the gum is fully cured. The easiest way to do this is by using a light box as shown.

If using a UV torch, endeavour to motility the light across the whole surface of the brandish in a deadening, even movement. Practice this for 3-4 minutes to ensure the glue is fully cured.

Step 8

That's it, your phone display is as practiced as new!

Now pat yourself on the back for a task well done 🙂
