Reddit reviews Xfactor Hydro XFUV10BLK 10ml LOCA UV Glue - Premium Grade LOCA (Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive) - Low Viscosity !!

I plan to DIY my own Whitestone Dome glass protector. I'm waiting until I can find a TGSP that:

• Doesn't have the black strips on the top and bottom
  
• Does have the full sensor/camera/speaker area cut out...less likely to get glue on it
  
• Doesn't have glass extending all the way to the edge of the screen
  
• Doesn't have the ugly dot matrix "sensitivity pixel grid" pattern bullshit
  
• I plan to simply peel off the thin strip of adhesive on the edge
  
  This is the glue I'm going to use, it should be enough for 5 tgsp installs:

  This is the IR curing light I'm going to use:

  I'm going to end up doing this for 4 devices, 2 x GS8 and 2x GN8. Total cost ~$40 or $10 each.

   I also used a template that was bundled with the Beetle Supcase Tempered glass to make it easy.
   
   When applying the LOCA put in the center of the phone a capatlized "i". Octopus LOCA includes a mL measurement and you should put near 5mL. It will get messy. That's the advantage of the WhiteStone Dome as they give you a lower viscosity with the right measurement needed.
   
   Make sure you put tape in all coverings. People will say painters tape, but I use Shipping tape with good adhesive. My first try, painters tape lifted and I got glue over my speaker. If this happens, make sure you put the phone in the UV light. It's easier to remove dried than piece by piece. But if you put good adhesive tape this will not happen.
   
   
   

LOCA glue is low viscosity (2000mPa*s)

The Tech Armor glass had a visible dot matrix until I used LOCA, I cannot see it any more even when I turn the brightness up to max.

I've liked tech armors for customer support, scratch resistance and it's oleophobic coating. The reviews on this are because the edge adhesive is garbage. For flat screen phones they have some of the best protectors out there, imo.

Should be identical

I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IOPYLJE/ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hm, both methods have advantages and disadvantages. I've tried both, and here are my thoughts on each:

Property| Whitestone | DIY
---|---|----
Cost | Expensive ($50)| Can be cheap ($15-20) if you already have a UV light
Installation Difficulty| Not too hard if you watch instruction videos| Can be more difficult due to lack of nice installation kit.
Quality| Protector has no dot matrix, good oleophobic coating, and no black borders| Hard to find protector with all of Whitestone's properties. Most protectors for the S8 still have minor dot matrix, but comes with oleophobic coating and no black borders.
Research Time | None besides watching instruction videos| Recommended to read through thread to find best protector and glue to buy. This can take a significant amount of time, because many of the links go to sold out/discontinued items. Xfactor is one recommended LOCA glue that's regularly in stock.

Xfactor Hydro XFUV10BLK 10ml LOCA... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOPYLJE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. I've used this several times with great success.

Getting back to you. Next time I do this, I'll probably buy some Loca Glue and tape down the sides with rubber tape, to prevent anything to entering any gaps in the phone sides (see this thread). If you're going with oil, taping down the sides might help too.

Try filling in the scratch with optical adhesive.

I used this one and it works great.

Ok I canceled my order on eBay and going to buy the xfactor one. How is this one? It says 2000mpa but also says low viscosity which is strange.

So it sounds like you need to adhear the glass to the LCD, is that correct? If that is the case, you need something called OCA, optical clear adhesive. Whatever you do, don't go cheap in this stuff, I paid the price for doing that, the first three screens I did had to be redone because I used cheap glue.

I would tell you to go on amazon and buy some of the highly rated stuff, I do a lot of these so I bought this:

But this stuff is the same thing, just on sale, and in a smaller amount:

Each tube of that is enough for about 3-5 phones, don't use it all at once, please...
