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.

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.

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.

Thanks for that amazing video. I would really like to see the video that you said you were gonna use the glass resin on. I've liked and subbed. Thanks again for the great video and info.

I love videos where the poster actually speaks.

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.

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.

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!

Love the video. It was very informative. Thanks!!

That's ace! Very simple: wouldn't have dared trying it first though!! 😁 Probably will attempt on an old phone.

The sound of the dog drinking water at the beginning 😊

Great! Had exactly the same damage to the corner area except I am 62 and not 5!!! Thanks for this.

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.

Pintor automóvil muy bueno tú trabajo siempre veo tú vídeos saludó de Argentina maestro

I'll try it out, thanks for sharing :- )

Thank you for such brilliant idea

Wow this is awesome

Good job ....If u use the depoxi instead of empoxi on black area of tab...if need good finishing first depoxi and then epoxi over it ....then broken line will not b visible....

Who's watching this video with his smashed phone 😢😢

Thanks for the info. A Lisle 52000 Razor Blade Scraper, or like tool, would make scraping the screen off much easier and have less risk of cutting yourself.

Gonna try this on the back glass on my iPhone, thanks!

I’m in a similar situation with the cracked back of my iPhone 11. The back is apparently made of a variation of gorilla glass, so I’m going to attempt a similar coverup to the one you performed in this video.

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

Your fingernails or lack there of make mine hurt! Thanks for the info, I got a phone I'm gonna give this a go! Thanks

Genial einfach, einfach genial thank you very much, for this easy to do, do it yourself repair instruction. I did it myself just a few minutes ago and it worked perfectly. Sure, the phone dont look like a new one. But thats not the intention. You get your phone back perfectly functioning. and thats the merrit you get. Forget about all those crazy instructions, that want to help you replacing the cover. Thanks a lot.

While you were "smoothing" the epoxy, I kept wondering why you didn't use the back (SMOOTH side) of the knife. 😁

Love this idea!,,,

Excelente opción para detener parcialmente la fractura .... gracias por compartir,,, saludos

I like excellent very useful too know....Thanks that for great tip

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

Wheather it works or not, It's satisfying

Scraping like that towards your arm, I held my breath.

This is first time watching your first video that is this video right now ☺️

I love the sound of the dog eating and drinking!

I've been doing that for ages, 2 x parts araldite with a wee spot of black paint dripped in and mixed, fill the broken bit and Bob's yet uncle

im skeptical at the beginning..but its better than i expected....good idea

My experience with Gorilla Glass has been great. I've dropped my cellphones many times but I've never experienced a cracked screen.

Great narrating. Thanks for this video. Next time show us Lolly 💕💕💕

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

It's hard to see the video through the cracks on my phone.

Would using the flat side of the knife rather than serrated side have worked better as you said you wouldn't normally have used a serrated edge coz all I have is one of these knives

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.

Would this render the touch sensitivity less sensitive ?

Thanks for this video!! What are your other vídeos about??

I used UV Arcrylic, it’s liquid until it hits the uv lamb. Worked out perfectly.

Question: have you sand n polished it ? I'm a resin artist just curious

Nice sound, to bad my screen is broken, I guess video is awesome as well...

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!

I have a folding Buck Alpha Hunter and would like some custom scales using black bull horns or exotic wood. How much would u charge?

Thanks mate, well done ! I'll try that myself today.. phone dropped two days ago 😆

I'm going to try this on my husband new tablet that he dropped 👍hoping it'll work we'll, thanks

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.

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.

Thanks, I've had nail polish on my phone for the last year, I need something stronger. I love that I can scrape it off after. I left a like ♥

Thumbs up dude!

Always try to push the blade away from you VS towards yourself. Scraping the screen requires pressure. A good glass paint scraper works best and safer

Awesome my friend I used similar stuff gorilla glue clear kind

Thanks buddy

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

You can get a plastic scraper handle for that blade. Easier and safer to use if you dislike the sight of blood.

can you do this, with a shattered screen and see if still works

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.

I'm looking for your video on how to repair glass cracks. I have a vase that has cracks and may have leakage.

should try a rugged case, they help. i bought a phone made with gorilla glass and droped it a few times already and nothing happened at all.

I always take apart everything (even high voltage things)

Thank you!

Only thing missing is the hold my beer moment

What happens if you put this on part of the touch screen that you use? Will touching buttons still work?

Put some loca 2500 on top with a tempered glass screen protector.

I saw a new painter at Associated air who was shown an engine cowl with runs in the paint but still fresh. He was to sand paint and had all day. He took a razor blade and cut the runs off and buffed it out in about 10 minutes. Polyurethane.

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...

Thank you sir :)

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.

Your da best KZfaq's

It actually will not stop the glass from further cracking if pressure is applied. There is no way to stop shattered glass from expanding when pressed on.

I wonder if the cutting phase would benefit from a heated blade? Better/worse/null?

Dropped my phone today😣 Thanks for the courage to use some glue on my phone as I cannot get a new one at this time😌

I'll try this out...

You couldve used the flat side of the knife 😅 new sub here

epoxy + black permanent marker ,best combo

Great video!!!!

Does it work if the tiny pixels show in the middle of the cracks

Wow, great. Works better when I used honey jelly ! Now, my AT&T data converted to "unlimited data". Thanks

i have a question. i have samsung galaxy j5 2015 and i have top of the screen big space and on top of the screen is a gap for a screen from flash light, and front camera. i need to know can i use it without any risk?

Bravo, bravo, bravo! Congratulations from Italy!

nice trick

That is so so gr8

what happens with the digitizer, if you the have to change it

But the plastic midframe on mine is damaged so the screen has nothing to stay glued down to. I really need to build up the missing shattered piece of plastic so the LCD can adhere. Any suggestions?

You can wipe off the screen with a cloth instead for a smoother finish.

Extended Warranties are underrated 👁️‍🗨️

Thanks

Help please do you have a video on how to get scratches off of a phone screen

My car windshield on the inside has 3 circles someone prior to my ownership scratched into the glass, any suggestions, they are not surface to say you can feel them with your fingernail, any suggestions as how to get rid of them, they are in my line of site.

I use windshield filler for pits on wind shields

Try using rainx glass repair epoxy

In which shop did u get this?

Awesomeness

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.
