Who's watching this on a crack screen? 😂😂
Cracked*
Anyway I like pot better
I always drop my phone and today it finally decided to crack. It doesn’t cut through the middle of the screen but just on the side and I really hope I can find a way to fix the screen for cheep.
@@sunnycabbages3510 android theres a way. but nothing on iphone
Me
poor you :))
The suction is to pull the air out of the cracks so the resin could be pushed in and even then it often doesn't go in really deep. The cracks themselves are within the glass and do not reach the surface. Sometimes drilling another hole at the end of the cracks allows you to use suction to pull the resin through (you'll need two kits) or pressure to push the resin through the crack but more often it's just a place to try again once your first incomplete try has hardened sealing the original impact area. The idea of drilling is to open a passage to the crack within the glass. The professional glass repair equipment can apply greater suction and greater pressure than the hand kits. Typically, the DIY kits are used to just stop the crack from spreading further. Unless you practice a lot and are willing to drill multiple small holes for additional injection points and or to allow suction and pressure to pull the resin through the cracks, you're not going to wind up with a good repair. Polishing the surface afterwards can smooth out the excess resin but that also removes the oil phobic coatings.
'made the phone smell toxic, so that's a + when holding it to your face'
that, was a good one
iPhones are already toxic.(:
That's his glory and we all heard it ✊
So you draw too huh?
@@ghost-4230 haha
This does actually work, I've done it several times. JRE just tried to go too quickly with it. First do it in a place with minimal UV and take your time applying a little resin and forcing it down into the crack with a plastic edge (I use a plastic gasket scrapper). Then when you finally have it worked in well put on the curing strips and just let it do it's thing naturally and slowly in indirect UV to help let air get out. (This is why on a car you use a vacuum pump, to pull the air out of the crack).
Using a UV lamp to speed up the curing only means more air stays in the crack making the crack more visible. It won't fix it 100% and shattered edges will still be visible, but it keeps the shards together so they won't come out over time which is a big plus. The smell will fade with time, just have to keep it out of a cover at home for a few weeks.
May I know can I use a leminate sheet to replace the curing strips? Because the curing strips I have is just too small
how bout if its in mobile, still use a vaccum?

I will try it on my LG V30. It has a 1mm wide crack just above the earpiece. I just hope the IP rating holds well. I get out in the rain a lot.
@@DavidDajalos You would risk damaging the LCD/LED layer beneath the glass. On a car window the crack doesn't actually go all the way through. Just down to the plastic layer between the panes.
Lol try it on a WINDOWS phone
lol
Trevor's windows phone? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@Eìon O'hInneirghe are you serious?
Try it on nVidia shield
Dec 2019 anyone? Getting so much old vids in my feed lately.. I guess I watch too much YT.
Daniel Malek yea
:3
Hahaha yeah me tooo
Yt recomends are drunk af theese days
Yea
Not sure if this was mentioned before -- but when I attempted to repair a crack in my windshield many years ago, the kit that I bought came with a syringe pre-filled with resin and an attachable suction cup. The idea was that you would scrape the top layer off to expose the crack and remove any contaminants, place the cup with the syringe attached over the crack, suck the air out of the crack by pulling up on the plunger, then "force-inject" the resin by dropping the plunger. You would then repeat this process until you didn't see any more bubbles rising up during the suction phase. Because of the vacuum required, the crack could be no larger than the diameter of the cup -- or about 1" -- so the procedure wouldn't have worked with the crack on your display. And while I must confess that it didn't really work for me at the time, I can appreciate the potential validity of this process -- at least in theory -- and speculate that perhaps with better equipment (e.g. a larger syringe that could produce more vacuum -- the one supplied was small, to the point that I frequently ended up pulling the plunger out completely, by accident), the outcome might have been different.
isnt it dangerous to apply more pressure on an oled panel?
I anit reading all that
this repair actually does in fact work, if done correctly. Don't be afraid the let the resin sit to have time to work down into the crack, it will only harden when you make it by subjecting it to the u.v. don't manipulate the cracks any further by spreading them with a blade either and last you can work the resin in with a plastic blade. it just takes patience and time.
Jack Arnold Did you try it? And did it actually work (
The question is... can it work on a laptop?
Jack Arnold
yeah I used to work in a plastic prototype shop and the vacuum idea I watched those windshield fixes it's awesome the vacuums crucial course I would be afraid as well on putting pressure on to the LCD I don't want it to go underneath and that would just create a big flood of resin so yeah but it's have some time I'm assuming to settle into its natural habitat clean it not with as strong of an alcohol I'd say more of a you know when Dix is fine that's blow and but the like 60% alcohol and a rag just the clean the area so it kind of seeps into the cracks now let that air dry from my experience again with dealing with vacuums and resins and Ford Focus clear headlight lenses for example we made it by hand I would then possibly if you have something don't laugh that vibrates the phone while it's settling in there and that resin will get there and into those spots and then most importantly when you do apply that top sheet for the Cure the timing is crucial it looks like you pulled that off early and you pulled some of the resin out of the crack and I don't know if you used any kind of alcohol that's probably the crucial part of their to cuz that will if you have any other cleaning agents that has a substance in there that won't allow to stick your just pulling the resin right out when you pull that card off and then I saw your going at it with razor blade they do have plastic sharp blades and yeah you want wood or plastic not metal because not all of these Gorilla Glass are really glass that's my two cents I'm going to do some more research.
by the way j7 small hairline crack in the top right corner from being in the back pocket Witcher tell everybody not to do
Where can i buy the windsheild repair kit since i know it works. I live in michigan and i am using my phone still so i need something to work but that wont destroy my phone itself
Jack Arnold greetings; whats ur thoughts about actually using the "windshield injector tool" to force the resin down into the crack/glass ??
I’ve thought this a few times. Even though this is an old video, I’m glad when they pop up as I keep learning. Thanks Zack!!
depends on the viscosity of the glue, and whether capillary action will draw in correctly. i suspect your procedure is faulty, as i've seen this work personally.
An idea to force resin into the crack, apply the resin evenly, cover over the resined screen with plastic. Now put the phone into one of those vacuum food saver bags and draw out the air with the food savers pump forcing capillary action to fill the cracks.
This video may be old but it's useful. I saw an AD for a glass repair kit and they were advertising it for windshields and cellphones. Now I know it's just a simple windshield repair kit and can't be used on phones.
The sealant should dry for 30 minutes in sunlight/uv lighting. Also, the first step to sealing a windshield chip is to suck out the air trapped in the glass. The air is what creates those black areas.
I specifically searched for this. now I am disappointed.😭
+jenish kachhadia Interesting idea though huh! Would have been fun if it worked.
he didn't do it right
+johnnieace45 🖒
jenish kachhadia then your a fool
James Rodgers too late buddy. replaced 2 phones after that comment
Normally you would use a suction cup to remove the air trapped inside the cracks, simultaneously forcing the resin down into them. It should work for smaller chips and cracks, but I wonder if it might render under screen fingerprint readers inoperable....
Digging into the cracks with a razor was his first mistake.
Also, on cars you are suppose to use a hand drill with a TINY drill bit on the crack origin so the resin can seep further down into the cracks, or at least thats how my dad does it for a living and he’s only shattered 1 windshield
Been looking for a way to fix my old phone. The windshield repair kits work well on my cars ( got several cracks awhile ago ). Was thinking the same, do it on the phone. So now thanks to this video I safe some bucks and have to go back searching for another way 😁😁😁
What’s up almost December 2019 and this shows up as recommended. Fine by me, just trying to Jerry Rig my life
2019 anyone?? Jerry sounds so weird
The whole format of his videos and the production value has really grown since he posted this one!
his jokes are better too
Yes
yup puberty hit him lol jk
There were no scratches at level 6, and the glue didn't snap like a lego :(
Lay a piece of glass slightly larger than the phone over it and weight down the glass to help force the resin into the cracks.
@How2make Fun4You did it work
try heating up the phone with resin on to get more resin in the glass, once cured and scraped off use a very light t cut to Polish the cured resin. Im an ex windscreen fitter and repair specialist.
Glen Corbett what’s a t cut?
T-Cut - it's a common abrasive polish for repairing minor scratches on paintwork
I think this is worth another shot after 4 years.
I also call for a redo, not only to add pressure but also a screen protector before you put the stuff under the UV light, resulting in a screen protector stuck to cured windshield stuff (sorry I forgot what it's called)
Which BTW I've tried a few times, with mixed but mostly successful ending. My Note 8 had 2 cracks, one all the way to top and the other at bottom that are no longer visible unless you really look for it. This way the resin is spread evenly across the screen and doesn't need to be scraped off. Did you notice that when he put the strips of plastic down the cracks were invisible. Warning, you must use a screen protector that has adhesive on the screen side of will fall off!
@@russellclayton4360 hi please can u elaborate on this
@@russellclayton4360 holy f_ck are you a genius. I'm going to try this on my ipad.
@@iyanufanoro5538 Year later but hes trying to say is to put the resin on the cracks then put a screen protector on top of it so the cracks essentially disappear. Absolute genius this mf
hi sir jerry, whats the best adhessive to use on a mobile phone LCD? please give me a tips, thank you in advance! 😟
Do you guy’s think this will cover a very small chip on the notch of a iPhone X ? It’s not very deep either it didn’t go all the way threw the glass
Finally an honest review. Love your channel
That's really honest review. I liked it 👍
Maybe try doing a vacuum sealed bag for additional pressure.
On the newer Samsung Galaxy Edge devices (S6 and S7) especially if the crack or chip is not around the edge you can actually apply pressure or vacuum without worrying about cracking. It's on a plastic substrate and it's flexible. (I'm sure you already know) I don't think the added pressure would damage it. I believe we all would love a video on that. I wish i could do it but my S7 edge is just fine and i don't do what you do professionally. Thanks!
I came here because i'm curious if it could work on the cracked back glass of an S7/Edge. Since its the back applying pressure shouldn't be too scary
Oh the old days when Jerry used to fix phones not to break them
Watching this video in 2019 because phones have become more and more fragile it seems like.
Matthew Lemmers I have the iPhone 8+ with a rubber case says tech21 on it it’s a slim case not a life proof style but anyways I’ve dropped my phone maybe 300 times I’d say and it just now October 14 2019 and it finally landed in a way that it cracked my screen close to the center but it’s not spread it’s like a small curved chip/cut in the glass
Not the worst crack I’ve seen on an iPhone at all I’m kinda proud it’s lasted this long definitely would not have survived this long without a case though
sorry 2020 is too way fragile
applying pressure would definitely improve the final result. I wonder if you took the touchscreen digitalizer apart from the display and applied pressure just on it, would it work better? Anyway, I think if you wanna get rid of cracks on your screen just replace the damn thing, that's the only sure way for this to work.
Now try digitizer only replacement on a windshield.
I wonder how this would work on the back glass
Dont do this when the crack is deep enough to expose the LCD you will damage your LCD display!
What I want to know is this; I have a crack on my phone 8 plus screen at the bottom near the home button. If I used windshield repair kit would it prevent the crack from getting worse?
actually I did it and it works, maybe try another brand. or really using direct sunlight a little bit longer
When you're looking up something and run into an old Jerry video
I mean the glass used on phones is a bit different than that of a car window... For instance Gorilla Glass is processed much differently than basic tempered glass.
What if you heat the screen with hot air blower before applying the resin and also you apply the heat until the resin occupies all the holes
This stuff doesn't work HOWEVER just put it down and instead of using a film, just use a screen protector, cover the entire phone and let it dry and don't take the screen protector off.... It makes the cracks WAY less noticable, just make sure you get all the air bubbles out
Would transferring the liquid to a small needle/ syringe (diabetes needle for example) help get it into the cracks better?
Lol i was waiting for someone to try this
Keith Patton Hell i still going to try it even after seeing it fail. Ill fool around with the idea and do things like thing out the resin etc. What i noticed at first is it looked like it may work. I may try using a vacuum food saver with a hard plastic sheet to really squeeze the resin in.
+Nova Flare Did you end up trying this again?
+Zac St. Louis not had a chance yet. Im going to look in to it though still at some point. Also looking in to ways to do cold pulls on bonded glass lcds. Played around with heating a bit of wire with some success. Scratched the crap out of the polarizing layer and cracked the lcd but it was doa any ways. The idea of heating the wire is actually quite sound. Instead of heating the lcd/glass you simply run 5 volts from a computer power supply through some moly wire or the thinnest singe strand metal guitar string you can lay your hands on. That gets the wire quite hot. Getting under the glass between it and the lcd the idea is the wire heats the glue and cuts it. Like i said i scratched the crap out of the polorizer and got a little impatient and broke the lcd towards the middle of the attempt.
If any one else wants to try heres a short list of how i set up the rig i made
3/4 inch chip board 1/8 inch plexi sheet 2x 3 inch dry wall screws some moly wire.
Screw in the dry wall screws through the plexi in to the chip board run the moly wire between the screws making sure it is tight. Attach positive 5 volt lead to one screw neg to the other and turn on. A computer power suply works great using the yellow and black wire. 12 volt might be to much and burn the wire in half but give it a shot. Or you can use a variable power supply. A chager for a phone etc will not work not enough amps.
Get the moly wire between the lcd and glass gentle downward pressure on the glass while moving the lcd assembly slowly up the wire wth gentle presure. Keep gentle downward pressure on the edges of the assembly and slow steady pace and you should et the glass off. Don't go to fast you'll break the lcd like i did in my experiment (sorry no video)
Did you get this to work?
Kill two birds with one stone and make a youtube video of it. It's been 4 yearssssss lol.
Hey Zack. I have a phone with a shallow SCRATCH on it back but you can still feel it when you run a finger nail over it. Will this method work on a phone back? The scratch is pretty small.
finally a video that is not click bait
I wished you've tried vacuum to pull the air out of the cracks and push the resin into it
Now it's late ok for this ok, but windscreen repairing doesn't work like that. Not even close. Generally you have something like vacuum cup which comes with repair kit. First you scrape all edges and see if there's glass parts loose. Then suction cup over damage, take injection needle with small amount of resin in it. Now take syringe to suction cup, pull vacuum with syringe and wait resin to get near suction cup inlet and push syringe to inject resin to hopefully air free crevices. Usually those syringes have actual holes that are blocked in certain steps, but basically that's how it's done. I've done it for my car windscreen and I successfully fixed damage and visual cue of damage is still seen with very closely looking, but anyway it's about 99% smaller than it originally was. Anyway, all in all. This is not how resin is used to fix glass damage.
This time use the uv lcd glue and stick tempered glass on top and don't remove the tempered glass.

2015: nah
2016: nah
2017: nah
2018: nah
2019: let's put this in recommended
You should repeat this
Use vibrate test on the phone to make the resin absorb in more
Underrated comment haha
2019 and the amazon link still works
Wow
so is there a kit that can remove cracks from the phone screen back to normal
who else is watching with cracked screen
Hit like
Shaikh Shadab no
Moi
Shaikh Shadab haha. Me
Jaime F wtf
Me m suffering from depression after my phone cracked
Who else is watching this on a cracked screen?🙋♂️
Does that glue conducts electricity? Cause i have a small hole in a corner of glass and there are some microscheme. I used my electro tape to protect it from ay liquid.
@JerryRigEverything does it works for small scratches? I have a very tiny scratch but it's deep. Did you tried using more pressure?
hey not-jerry
My kitten bit into my galaxy s8 and it managed to break the screen. So i think you should add kitten teeth to your screen scratch test.
also, do you have an extra phone lying around the shop that a broke student could have ?
sell the cat and buy a new phone
In your case, you should try putting it in a container and pressur the container with air... I've thought about this... cause I use to have a small chip on both my car and my s7
Please re do with more pressure
i saw this in facebook and i amaze.. but when i saw this video........
You saved me a purchase. Thanks!
What if you used blow dryer to heat liquid creating it to be thinner to go thru the crack. Do you think it would work? I know on windshield repair, it was a hack I see them do to thin out the liquid.
Push a bit on the glue when aplying it to your cracks, so you wiggle the glass a bit. Then it get in between the glass.
Plan super glue eels well make shura to clean it with isopofel alcohol first
Could you try waterproofing a phone with fish tank silicon, I have been curious if it would work.
Superglue would fill the gap but then i cant advice on remaining residue left on screen
after years, I WANT A REDO ON GLASS BACK DOOR PHONE WITH SMOOTH HAIR CRACK
For this application you to use a "thinner" resin.especially if you just let gravity seep the resin down into the cracks..
This video shows how not to do it and that as well is a valuable help. Widening the cracks with a razor blade IMO is really a bad idea. Plus the resin needs to be injected into the cracks to hide them. I have to admit though I have no Idea yet how to do it properly. Anyway I think I'll give it a try and see how it comes out.
+SoundbytesMusic Keep us updated!
So did you ever try this experiment?
Well I've now had the opportunity to try it for myself after my daughter broke the display of her 10'' tablet.
After applying the resin I widened the crack by pressing gently from the backside of the tablet. This worked quite well and allowed the glue to fill the crack. I have to say though that the crack already went from edge to edge. otherwise it most probably would have become longer by that precedure.
The crack was not gone after the repair but its visibility was reduced a bit.
Too bad it broke again after a few days. On a phone it might have lasted since a phone display is much smaller.
What should I do if the led is damaged
I know this is old but could you use loca glue?
I don't care about visual cracks but will it fill the cracks so the bits of glass wont break off? I have a badly cracked phones screen and want it still usable. Don't care about looks.
Oh jerry 3 years ago lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
November 2019, why did I get recommend this?
im about to buy. tnx jerry youve stopped me
What u should do is open the cracks. Yes u used a razor blade and slightly open the top. That's not enough to get it into the cracks. Also you didnt clean any glass bits from inside the crack. What u need to do is get a real sharp blade maybe precision blades used by doctors open up the cracks a bit more wide, clean the cracks then apply the liquid.
Thank you for telling the truth
I wanna try this but want it try to leave it for an hour before putting it in the sun light to cure. Hopefully that will give it time to fill the crakes in.
What if you placed it inside a vacuum storage bag to suck it into the cracks?
Can you use LOCA 1000 or 2500 glue to fix it? which one is better?
I used a diamond bit on a dremel last night and it got in there pretty good seems to be ok
i have watched other videos and yes, youd have to push harder on the glue in order for the cracks to disappear.
I thought I was the first one to think about that and that i wouldn't find anything about it on RUclips LOL
Man your 5 years voice sounds quite different!! Ahahah. But was nice to click this video randomly and not knowing it was you Jerry!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for keeping it short and to the point.
Technically it did work but the lcd light s the reasoning n the crack would still show correct me if im wrong
Watching this on cracked cellphone, many cracks 😂
mmm., im here thinking I can do this to my watch screen as well...
Does it prevent it from cracking more
Thx for that video! really loved it. Quick, to the point and funny! Thx man! =)
my cracked but it is very minor however the cracks are just there is it worht it
Of course it won't work if you don't put it under a vacuum. That's a key part of the process.
Def wouldn't take ANYTHING that u found online around april 1st seriously
A big factor in making an adhesive work is having it thoroughly wet the surfaces to be bonded. In this instance super glue (not gel) might work better to penetrate into the crack.
spencer meier uh supergluing your screen is not a good idea
I put it under the sun, it still hasn't dry after an hour. lolol
Anybody try applying film of glue and sticking screen protector down.
Could it work for scratches tough?
I learnt something New. My theory will not work😂😂
With my Samsung Galaxy S8 I've got a nasty crack, but it wasn't from a drop it was crushed by my couch.
So there is a hole aswell, i was hoping to fill the hole for water resistance, I've covers it with a screen protector, but I would like my phone to be rain proof.
