I cured the resin with an UV light since the sun didn't come back. I should have mentioned that in the video since I forgot to film it.

Who else is watching this with a cracked screen?

"I'm not reading any instructions" -- Fantastic! It's _great_ when we start right out with a Pro Tip!

Bless you! I have looked over video after video for about two hours - and you are ONLY ONE showing a working device with a display that lights up!

Most of them who are watching this video has an cracked phone or watching this on the cracked phone. Especially myself😂

My understanding is that this stuff works well on windshields because of their 3-layer construction (glass-plastic-glass). Typical cracks only go through the first one or two layers, so you can "fill" the cracks completely, all the way to the bottom of the crevace. Here's a few thoughts: 1) Watch a video on how to apply the stuff on windshields (apply slowly, watching the resin slowly fill in ahead of the applicator - don't get ahead of it) 2) Very gently pull up a little on the glass a little with a small suction cup - this will "open" the crack slightly on the outer screen, allowing the resin to get into the crack better. 3) Hold the phone vertically while you apply resin, and start applying from the top (it helps to use gravity to "pull" the resin downwards, and hopefully prevent any resin from getting down into the lamination layer between the glass and LCD) 4) Look carefully, very gently try to work out any small air bubbles you see in the cracks. 5) Then apply resin again, this time covering everything, apply the plastic strips, let it cure, scrape off excess. 6) Never push on the screen intentionally. I really like Free Market Joe's idea of using the resin as a "glue" to hold on a glass screen protector. Very clever!

Thank you very much for this video. Helped tons. I knew the product wasn't as effective as they advertised. And you, good sir, saved me the trouble of getting into more trouble by fixing my phone with that product. God Bless you!

Great video - thanks for sharing the process and results, you saved me a few quid knowing that it's not even worth attempting to fix my screen in this manner. Also, the cinematography is impeccable, can't believe your follow count is so low!

His channel doesn't lie. Joe definitely did stuff. Then said he was gonna do more... Guess Joe just does stuff here... Thanks Joe.

I used resin to help my spare phone. . It works great. You have to really let it harden. Then u need to get smoothing and a polishing sand paper. It works it reinforces it well. No it doesn't make it disappear but for people who can't just buy a new phone it works well

The little strips of plastic Are for putting over the liquid to push it down into the crack the only way to dry the liquid is with UV light pointing it up to the sun, and the blade is for scratching the resin when it has gone hard the blade at a 90-degree angle and scratch off resin at a surface-level leaving the resin only in the crack when it has cured, depending on the crack you have there are different viscosity the skinny cracks need a liquid that is fine and will soak into the crack.

The thing that all the videos I've seen on this topic all seem to get wrong is that you can't rush and skip steps; this isn't something that is intended to be done quickly. The uncured resin has to sit for a good while, and you want to (gently) tap and press on the area all around the cracks to work it in deep and get any air out. Then let it cure for a good half-hour at least; longer if the cracks are deep. When removing the film do NOT pull it, instead peel up just enough of the edges to get a good grip then twist it back and forth until it breaks away via shearing. Finally, be patient with the scraping. Don't rip up big chunks once they're partially freed, just scrape little by little and let the razor do everything. For cracks and small chips this type of resin is incredible, and truly invisible if applied correctly. There is a reason that professional auto-glass repair shops use the stuff.

Thanks for your honesty❤❤❤❤ saved me a pretty penny😊

"slightly pushes down" fuking breaks the phone 😂

Thank you for saving us the money and the headaches thank you Joe 😬👍great video

Thank you so much for the full testing, I really appreciate it because I have a crack on my apartment window...

For uv light, there’s a ton of inexpensive uv led lamps for uv gel nail extensions and uv shellac nail polish - that will do the job super thorough & super fast.

Phones have a hydrophobic coating, you need to remove that completely to get resin to fill and the best is to put a glass screen protector over top the resin

Just a thought. Put the stuff on and then, instead of the plastic sheets, use a tempered glass protector and just leave it there, glued on by this junk.then you will have strength and hopefully no lines. Push out any air gaps following the glass install procedures, using a decent amount of the repair goop to seep in. The glass may even act as a vacuum to help draw the stuff into the cracks if you carefully chase out the air bubbles by gently pressing down as you seat the glass. Worst case you now have a smooth glass cover now that has to look better and protect better than it was before. Just remember…do not buy a screen protector with U.V. protection built in….you will not be able to cure the goop under the protector if you do.

You did a great job showing us the video

subscribed as you saved me buying some as my phone had identical cracks cheers fella :)

Dude you strength tested that phone harder than I would ever push on a healthy phone. In fact you killed the lcd, which was working fine before... The idea is that the resin will hide some cracks, fill them in enough that they don't continue to spread through normal use and make the screen smooth to the touch

If you repair a windshield you have to first open the cracks. You put pressure on the glass from the other side so the glue can be injected. Some shops even inject the glue under pressure so it can penetrate better.

As a car nerd and person who uses their phone 24/7, I feel like I would do this.

Thanks for saving my money and time👍👍👍

It's the same on windscreens, that gel is often useless. I've never tried it on a phone before, but on a windscreen I found super glue works much better. I also found that if you apply it in stages and rub it in with your fingers to get it to penetrate deeply into the crack it forms a much better bond.

For those who don't want to apply anything to their screens, Just put a tempered glass. Since you dont feel the cracks anymore, you'll get used to the screen sooner. You are NOT the First 😎

Thanks for this review and test.

Thanks help me save money since I was going to use it! Again thanks!

The Suction Cups are for Pooling the glass up so glue or Adhesive can get inbetween the cracks And cause proper adhesion

Please i really love this video. While im watching now im watching with my cracked screen.

Good work bro ❤🤭

Well documented I liked the video. I figured this couldn't possibly work and I appreciated the honest review of the process. It would be so cool if it did work but of course it's not that easy.

The best fix is to put one of them screen protectors that take glue and need UV light to cure. The glue that is in between the screen and glass screen protector will fill in the cracks. Something like a WhiteStone Dome screen protector will work and fix cracks. I'm sure that where they got the idea from to.

Hahaha I think you screwed up the lcd which was working fine earlier😂😂😂 World need experts like you man👍👍keep up the good work of f*** things up😂😂😂

Thank you, you just saved me money and time 👍

thank you for your time and effort God Bless you

enjoy watching your videos.

You cracked me up so I liked and subscribed. lol

You forgot one major issue, what if that screen is a tally the digitzer of the phone? What repairs the "clear traces on the back of the screen?

That orange suction clamp is to draw the liquid into the crack, on a windscreen you could sink plunger the back of the window to draw it in.

Really helpful thanks

I was wondering if I could use this. Years ago I fixed a rock strike on my windshield, also had some small fractures coming out of it and used the windshield kit, so easy. The center knob of the suction device goes on the crack and you squirt the resin into a hole at the top. Screw it down and it spreads the resin thru the fractures. Being this isn't a deep fracture, he used too much resin and should have used the razor blade to smooth the resin up through it. This would work tho. Very similar.

The device at the beginning is what ejects the resin in the cracks using vacuum then pressure, there also has to be an impact point big enough for the resin to enter.. there is what's called "crack resin" that's suppose to fill in cracks that the device can't reach. Works about 50% of the time.. you use the crack resin the same way you did with the Mylar plastic sheets.. also you need to clean the screen of any fingerprints and let it dry completely. Any moisture or debris in the cracks will stop the resin from entering.. "one more very important thing"... windshield repair resin can be toxic so always where chemical resistance gloves.. "READ THE WARNING LABELS" !!!!!

This does work... but I discovered that you need to ensure the plastic you cover it with is big enough to cover the phone, one piece, remove all the bubbles and leave it in the sun long enough for it to dry. This lines he's talking about are due to the small plastic screen covers. My phone turned out really well other than a little bubbles that Ididn't remove.

It’s very nice of you to buy that and spend the time to show us your results. I always wondered about that product. Have you thought of using a UV light bulb? (not black light. And make sure you wear yellow glasses or your retina can melt) Also, since you didn’t read the directions, maybe you just flubbed it all the way around. I recommend starting again. Just to be sure.

Definitely works! Probably depends upon he location of the crack. Mine was only in the area of the bezel.

You deserve 3 mil subs

The applicator presses and opens up the crack allowing the liquid to get into the damaged area. Leave the applicator in place, you will see the fluid travelling up the crack, don't run the fluid on top of the crack as you did, let the applicator do its thing. Once the cracks are invisable place on the film and harded in the sun, or better still under a uv light. If a part of the crack still shows move the applicator over the crack and do that bit. once you have an invisable crack it wont be strong, it only makes the crack invisable, fit a glass screen protector. Worked for me on a Samsung

I have a UV cure product and I believe it's too thick to go down in the cracks on it's own. It you pulled a vacuum on it, I think it might work.

Thank you Joe for saving my time, i was about to order one kit :D

Tq so much dear. This topic useful today for me dear. 👌 👌 ❤️ ❤️ God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🇲🇾🇲🇾 😊😊

Good Mr joe Does Stuff

Thanks for true information

I tried crazy glue but screwed up but it held and if you do it right it will work

Had me at.... "I'm not going to read the instructions, I'm just going to do it." 🤣🤣🤣

I doordash. Unfortunately that's not very good on phones. I dropped it so many times that there were cracks from the top all the way to the bottom. There were very few spaces where there wasn't a crack. I didn't have the money to buy a new phone, because I wanted to wait and get a semi-decent one. I just went ahead and used 3M clear packing tape. I covered the entire surface of the phone. It helped all those cracks stay together for months. Also, it kept the glass from cutting my finger over and over. If you can't find a better alternative, that'll get you through. The problem is how hard it is to see things on the screen. I looked into it a little bit and it sounds like, for my particular phone, the best thing to do was to buy both the digitizer and the screen and take off the digitizer and add them both. It sounded less messy and like you wouldn't have a problem getting all that glass off. My digitizer was fine though.

Hi i applied uv tempered glass but after few days on the croner of edgeson the upper of end side uv glue is cured. So how can i remove it from my screen. I did try mbc petrol and nail polish remover any matetial that can remove it ?

The little dohicky is for those deep rock holes and to hold and pour the resin... looking to fix a deep scratch...lol.

Yes I keep seeing that ad. Thanks for disproving their bs.

Hello, I have 2 s10 Galaxy phones, one has a broken screen. Can I just replace the motherboards? I wouldn't play with the screen, it's too sensitive. I only need pictures and videos. And that's all on the motherboard? Am I right? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Thank You for debunking this fake ads!

Does this mess with the touch or pressure sensors under the screen?

Didn't clean with alcohol, and rubbed all over with hands (oils) so no wonder the resin didn't want to go into the cracks

My curiosity is is it conductive so that way if you have electronic going through the digitizer it will still pick up your finger and stuff

I wonder if you could basically "glue down" a new glass screen protector with the resin. After curing with sunlight, Leaving this assembly like it is. Basically the resin fills everything in under the new screen protector. No scraping, etc.

Would u think it would work on the back glass as well?

The orange bit with the suckers is for constant high pressure realise into a stone chip. If this is going to work you need to high pressure the resin into the crack. Not with spaghetti arms like what you did.

When you said you bought a second phone to show the different thumps ☝

If you choose to use a UV light, make sure you buy one which has the proper wavelength. Some black lights operate under and over the spectrum needed to cure the resin. It will do nothing. I can't remember the correct wavelength, but don't just buy a uv light without verifying a overlaping spectrum.

I would like to see another video where you not just lay the plastic on, but do a better job pushing the liquid into the cracks, more carefully lay the plastic one too. Also Cure it in a timely fashion in the right way. Also don't push hard on the screen afterwards. Then I would be more convinced.

Thanks 🙏😊😊

Salve, vorrei farle una domanda, se si lascia sopra la resina un vetro temperato senza rimuoverlo va bene lo stesso?

Curious, can you make a video of different stuff for screen scratches?

Nice bro 👌👌👍👍

The plastic sheets are just UV-clear plastic. The idea is to have minor capillary effect to smooth down the resin.

Funny stuff Joseph.

yo so basically for micro scratches it will work? just to cover them

you busted the phone in the end. xD

LOL I am watching this from my cracked phone 😂

Great Review considering.

Super gluing my corner cracked screen now and its not dead

Did that fix like any other phones like vivo

I'd try doing that but underneath a glass screen protector

Works so much better in the ads.

Nice Bro

Maybe its been mentioned before but UV light goes thru clouds and you dont need direct sunlight...

My guy Joe casually pulls out another phone he bought, just to compare to the broken one. His muscles ABSOLUTELY have to be hurting from this flex! #ballin

Just a little push there.... And pop sound. Screen got a big KO in this fight 😂

Was worried if using that would effect my phone sensitivity.. Thanks for the video..

Can you please tell me the equipment

Thanks to save me money and time

Just a sugestion but if you put a screen protector on, that would cover up the cracks

Thank u for sharing glas I didn't buy that product my phone damage screen 😢

You really left your phone over night outside!! My side...😹😹😹

Excellent video showing how someone can muck up doing the simplest of tasks...😹😹😹 (You were nice though).

I thought the same for my kid's tablet, also goofed 🤪 as the sun went down. 😅 well I know not to oress down and mess it up more but leave it with smoother cracks that won't cut my kid. At least till he learns not to be stepping on it and then get another one.

Slightly pushed down 🤣 sounded like you actually cracked the screen 😂

It worked for my car windshield. It wasnt perfect but it stopped the glass from spreading. a car windshield cost about $800

Happy I watched b4 I bought it
