Teardown Lab - Epoxy resin phone screen repair
I smashed my beloved smartphone, is there any way I can get a little more use out of it without cutting myself?!
Yeah, in a pinch it works and keeps all the fragments together until you can get it repaired! Beware though, if the resin gets into the electronics of the phone itself you may have made things a lot worse!

Ok. I just used the Devcon 5 min epoxy and a heat gun. I applied a very thin layer then turned my heat gun on low until the epoxy got very thin and filled in the crack. I turned the phone at different angles to flow the warmed epoxy into the worst problem areas. Let it get tacky then cleaned off the tiny bit of excess. It worked perfectly! Thank you sir!

Absolutely Brilliant cant see a single crack on it now looks brand new

@elricko9817 Год назад

I love the informal way of doing the video. Dicking around with the resin at the start, just doing int by feel seeing what works. And I must say I'm very impressed! The video together with the comments here are a gold mine. Good instructions! Dropped my phone today, cracked the back, so will definitely be trying this later today :D

@backofficeshow Год назад

I hope you can fix it!

@tyl.3396 7 лет назад

You were on the right track but had you turned the phone at an angle and then swiped the resin at an angle, it would have filled in the cracks and completely! The key is to take notice as to which direction the glass is raised so that you apply the resin into the cracks properly, but other than that you were on the right track!

@iveco555 6 лет назад

Can you fix screen with LOCA glue 1000 or 2500 and than put tempered glass on?

@MrBanex25 4 года назад

Because Its just matter of time 🤣

@MisterBlack83 7 лет назад

The reason the resin slides round on the screen is cuz of the oleophobic coating designed to fight finger smudges from hand oils

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

+MisterBlack83 Ahh that's the word 😂

@davidmckinney7566 2 года назад

Is there a way to remove it?

@sofiaferraro1177 5 лет назад

thanks for the video:) would those kit to repair cars windshield work on the phone? or you suggest a specific resin of some kind? thks very much sorry for bad english ;)

@backofficeshow 5 лет назад

I think there are some phone screen protector kits that use UV so it may be possible. Also UV cured 3d printer resin might be worth a try

@peepla7 2 года назад

Good job. My resin is self leveling...so would have poured it right to the center tilted it so it spreads out and then just left it maybe use a heat gun to release any bubbles and then not touch it not you know go back and forth with a spatula or anything like that to see if it you know settled in all the cracks and such but that's just my method when it comes to resin. I found this video when I had the thought that maybe resin can fix my camera in the back of my phone when it hit the concrete after being dropped from a car so I figured maybe somebody else had the same idea and boom found this video. Also subbed cuz you're funny.

@TheAmazeer 3 года назад

You must inject the resin with pressure on the screen if not it will stay on the surface

@jmkrdrs 3 года назад

So doing this won’t make it impossible to replace the screen?: like glue it solid to the phone permanently?

@raechelle9219 4 года назад

Does it matter if the screen is amoled or LCD?

@starpilot101 3 года назад

Scraping excess off with a rubber window blade would work too.

@liladryburgh165 Год назад

The screen is not fighting the epoxy the screen is glass so epoxy will act like water on it what you needed to do was take some 1200 grit sandpaper and lightly deglaze your screen and then clean the dust off and then put the epoxy on

@srinivasanraghunathan8656 4 года назад

In India it costs only 2$ to 3 $ only to change the new glass for a mobile phone.

I agree. I now eyeball all measurements and mix anything and everything with syringes. I do however try to change it up occasionally and mix things with measuring cups and other measurement utensils.

@stormchasersyd 3 года назад

Would you suggest doing this to the back side of an iPhone to make it a little more durable? Like to prevent any more cracks? Or is this just good for smoothing it

@backofficeshow 3 года назад

I think if you could evenly spread it and get a nice little meniscus going you could get a really nice finish.

@liladryburgh165 Год назад

Yes ;however; you risk increasing the amount of heat within your phone as you are insulating it as well.

@peepla7 2 года назад

I would have mad e a new batch of resin....any unmixed resin... Or not at the proper ratio can result in sticky or not getting hard or all kinds of resin don't want to behave type issues. Need to make a small 10 mm batch and whatever doesn't cover the screen can go into overflow mode like a keychain holder or whatever.

@steveclose3735 3 года назад

If the digitizer is no longer working, will this restore its function?

@backofficeshow 3 года назад

Probably not

@ryand3933 2 года назад

Vacuum chamber wold help seep in

@garethbaus5471 4 года назад

I might try something like this on my phone, it probably won't turn out this nice, but it is hard for my phone to turn out worse and my phone isn't worth much more than the screen anyways.

@lycanlycans7548 4 года назад

I think that would'n work because think about the heat that could demage the LCD itself ! Why you don't use loca or a uv glue with low viscosity to create a capillary effect! so the uv glue has to be very thin so that it can crawl into the break! and then you also need a uv lamp!

Well, it certainly seems to have turned out better than I was expecting it to and compared to that superglue attempt of yours. Bodge of the year candidate 👍

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

Its only when I actually tried to repair it properly I screwed it up royally, thats the 3rd nexus 6 and 4th nexus device we have tried to repair, and thats will all the tools. Bloody annoying!

@A3rgan 7 лет назад

Ah, sorry to hear mate.

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

Its ok, I have my oneplus 3T and that IS more compatible with dismantlement :)

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

I reckon if you had a mini vacuum chamber thing you could probably get the resin sucked into the cracks.

@JomasterTheSecond 7 лет назад

Welp, RIP phone screen. Gotta make sure it doesn't get down into the stuff and adhere the screen to the phone even more.

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

+Jomaster The Second They really made these phones a chore to repair, it's a shame. They are almost impossible to remove the glass from the digitiser and screen.

@clydeb7713 3 года назад

I kept doing the process repeatedly until it turned into an I-Phone. 🤓

My phone has a piece of glass missing on the bottem of the phone screen and i wanted to hear if anyone has an idea to help, i don't have a rensin epoxy but i have an adhesive epoxy so will that work

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

+Keishah Boltman if it comes in two tubes, it should work

@backofficeshow 7 лет назад

+Uhmbe Rhellah agreed! If you have something broken you have nothing to lose in trying 😂

@Dooncat 2 года назад

if you would use a very high quality resin for cracks they should begone . i paid 35$ for 190+190=380ml special self leveling and tiny molecule resin, and its going to thight cracks like this in minutes.In epoxy resins quality means a lot if yu want to make pro job.

@supamoe2022 6 лет назад

Keep doing this every 4hours and I bet it will go away slowly 😉

@bigdawg7703 4 года назад

That looks like a waste of money to me. I watched one were the guy uses elmers glue. Yeah the white elmers glue. He covers the entire screen and rubs it in well with his finger especially into the deep cracks. Needless to say the next part blew my mind. He leaves the glue on there not wiping any off. He took duc tape and covered the entire with it. Then he takes a hammer and starts hitting the phone with some force behind it. At this point you probably think I'm mentally ill but I promise you I'm not. He then takes the phone and puts it away for 24 hours. The next day he removes the tape and you won't believe me but it looked like a new glass screen with no sign of any damaged to it. I not making this up. It looked brand new.
