- Whelp, let's try it again! Bought some more resin on Amazon. Have another busted phone screen. Let's see if I can get the job done. Oh, and this time I'll follow the instructions.

Why this didn't work for you?
1) Once you add the Curing sheet on top the screen, you were supposed to use a flat item to press it against the screen to ensure no bubbles form between the sheet and the screen. ( exactly like how you would put on a screen protector ). Doing this creates a pocket of air that is identical to the crack and the liquid you place on top of the crack will now be forced into the crack upon the next steps.
2) While the screen curing sheet is on the screen, you now must use a little bit of your finger pressure to put a small amount of flex on the screen... but not too hard. This ensures the resin goes deep in the crack.
3) You then will need a little suction cup to put over the curing strip and give a slight pulling action to. this flex the screen in the opposite direction as the last step. keep looking at your crack, after a few very light pulls, the resin should have filled the cracks and
they should be gone.
4) take your time to ensure you penetrate the crack (s). Most people think you have a small window of time to deal with the resin but that is not the case at all. As long as you are not fixing your phone screen in the sunlight, you have all the time you need to ensure these cracks disappear. Take your time with this and frequently look at your screen from various perspectives to ensure no cracks can be seen from any angle.
5) When you can no longer see any cracks, take off the suction cup and use a UV Light to cure the resin. Do not use the sunlight as it will take too long to cure. You can find cheep USB UV lights on ebay for 3 to 5 dollars. Depending on the power of the UV light and resin sensitivity to UV, it could take from 2 minutes to 10 minutes to cure.
6) Scrape off the excess resin with a razor-blade. The cracks should be gone and the screen should feel smooth to the touch again. Once you see how new your screen looks, you will definitely want to add a screen protector.
I've fixed so many phone screens using windshield resin that its not even funny. And if your phone has gorilla glass, the end result is even better. Hope this helps.
I will try this
but this was a scratch not crack, dont you think a scratch is not deep enough for the resin to stick to?
@@davidkrowa4153 If it were just a surface scratch, simply putting a screen protector on it would hide those scratches.
@percyvolnar8010 did you do this for cracked glass screen phones and it worked?
@@averyling8366 Yes! I did it on a gorilla glass five phone and it worked just fine.
The reason this didn't work is because the resin doesn't have anything to hold itself onto in the same way it would when it is injected into a rock chip on a windshield.
A rock chipped windshield will have area inside the glass for the resin to flow into and anchor itself.
What may work is a fast curing glass glue, but you have to test it out on glass first to know the hardening time frame. The idea would be to pour it onto the crack on the screen in a way where the opening is pointing towards the crack so it gets pushed into the crack/scratch itself, then the key is to know when it is in a jell form before hardening to have a clean cut with a blade.
Now, this is just an idea, but it's the best I could come up with since I too have tried resins and epoxy as well, but to no avail.
Why not just use a UV light instead of unreliable sunny days?
I tried this with the same resin plus a screen protector and although it did help, the cracks were still quite obvious, but at least It worked well enough, to not cause any cuts and helped make my phone usable for a few extra months. (Replacement screens didn't exist for my old Motorola phone 😢)
You need to take the razor blade at a 90 degree angle scrubbing back and forth. By angling it, you’re pealing it up.
What do i do about it? My whole phone is cracked 😬
Now I have never played with this resin before but what I think I will end up trying on my phone after I drove over it with my tractor is I'm thinking about finding a role of wide clear Gorilla Tape and seeing if I can lay that down over some liquid resin without getting any air bubbles trapped in there. I might have to make a couple pin holes to let out air and excess resin to the outside of the tape but the plan would be to get the tape on over the liquid resin and make sure all the air is out and make sure there's not an excess of resin where it don't belong and then just leave the tape on it forever and see if the resin can minimize light refraction in the cracks
Hi Joe, seems like the scratch isn't deep enough to fill and it is super shiny.
It’s a pretty deep gouge. But it must not have been.
Good practice to put fleshlight away before recording
I think it would be cheaper (and less work --- as well as successful, so long as you DO read the instructions :) to just buy a replacement display module and install it.
why am i suddenly subscribed to this channel?
You might have to remove the oleophobic coating….
I believe you are supposed to use the blade at 90° not 45°?
Joe, you forgot to put the film on?? Why Joe, why?
Huh?
Please do something else 😉
