    • To ensure a good adhesive bond, thoroughly clean all adhesion surfaces.

    • Remove large chunks of adhesives with the flat edge of a spudger or tweezers.

    • Allow any leftover isopropyl alcohol to completely evaporate before reassembly.

    • Apply strips of double-sided tape such as Tesa tape to the screen perimeter to reattach the screen.
