The Best Glue For Phone Screen Repair 

As mentioned earlier, various adhesives are made specifically for phone repairs or touchscreen replacements. 

Let’s learn more about these adhesives, what they are and how to work with them. 

B-7000 For Phone Screen Repairs

B7000 is a waterproof and transparent glue that offers the high flexibility required by phone screens, tablets, and other electronic components. 

You can stretch this glue to 900% of its length without breaking it. The bond of this adhesive improves the durability of the load-bearing structure between the expansive material and the surface. 

B-7000 glue features a bottle cap that is easy to undo and a needle design that provides a smooth and easy flow even when reused. 

This adhesive is the best to repair phone screens. It outperforms most glues that are recommended for phone or tablet repairs. 

It forms a strong and durable bond even on smooth and non-porous surfaces like a phone screen. 

Here is how to use B-7000 for phone screens:

1. Apply it to the surface 
2. Spread the coat of glue evenly 
3. Align and gently press down 
4. Clamp for 24 – 48 hours 

If you don’t have clamps, you can safely use them on your phone screen, then use tape, rubber bands, or other safe alternatives. 

It takes about 2 -5 minutes for the glue to dry on the surface, but it needs at least 24 hours to cure. 

The ideal curing time for B-7000 glue is 48 – 72 hours. 

B-7000 is thinner when it dries than other adhesives and has no residue or cloudy white color. 

Once you are done using the tube, wipe down the nozzle, put the cap back on, and squeeze it tight. Store it at 10 – 28 degrees. 

B-7000 is also great for fixing the back panel of your phone.

T-7000 glue is a black adhesive, ideal for plastic and metal bonding. It can also be used to glue PP to PE plastic. 

This environmentally-friendly glue is also non-polluting and non-corrosive. 

T-7000 glue has great sealing and anti-aging properties. 

After it cures, it remains soft and elastic. 

LOCA Glue For Phone Screen Repairs Or Replacement

When you need to replace a mobile phone screen, LOCA glue is one of the best to get the job done properly and clearly. 

LOCA stands for Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive. It is designed specifically for smartphone screen repairs. It bonds the outer glass to the digitizer both in smartphones and tablets.

LOCA glue is sensitive to UV light. Store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. 

Other Adhesives For Phone Screen Repairs

B-6000 is very similar to the B-7000. This glue is also commonly used on phone screens. 

Another adhesive that is often used for phone screens is the E-6000. 

Follow these steps to attach your phone screen to the frame of your phone with either B6000 or E6000 adhesives:

1. If possible, use a clean cotton swab to clean the frame of your phone and the screen – basically, the 2 surfaces that will be glued together – remove debris, dust, or old dried-up glue while being very careful not to damage any parts you are working on 

2. If necessary, dab the cotton swab in a bit of rubbing alcohol to help clean the surfaces – be careful not to soak your device with it, you should only dampen the cotton swabs 

3. Properly clean the glass in front of the phone camera on the inside if you can 

4. Apply a thin layer of glue across the frame of your phone (around the edges) – be careful not to glue the camera or the glass in front of the camera of your phone and only apply the glue to the frame of your phone and not on the display 

5. Align the display to the frame 

6. Gently press down on the display into the glued frame 

7. Check if there are any hidden spots – if yes, apply glue to any spots you have missed

8. If there is excess glue coming out, dab a cloth or a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol or acetone and gently wipe it off – if you wipe it down right away while it is wet, you can just use a clean cloth to do so 

9. Use clamps, tape, or rubber bands to secure the phone screen in place 

10. Allow the glue to fully cure for about 24 – 48 hours
