🔧 Repair Like a Pro with Octopus Glue!
Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive (LOCA) is a premium UV glue designed for optimal device repair. With a super low viscosity of 1400 (MPA.S), it flows easily, reducing air bubbles and allowing for precise application. The glue boasts a remarkable 99% light transmittance, ensuring a crystal-clear finish that enhances the viewing experience. Its 25A hardness provides exceptional durability, making it resistant to heat and moisture. The 3ml graduated syringe allows for accurate measurements, and bonus tools are included for a comprehensive repair solution.

Worked well.
It did what I expected it to do. Its crystal clear and so much better than just using tape. One 3 ml tube did an s3 and a note 3 with a little left. The s3 was easy but the note 3 was much more difficult to get the bubbles out of. I compared my repaired note 3 to my wife's perfect, factory note 3 and I can't tell a difference. I used too little on the S3 and had a tough time spreading the glue but it came out perfect. I used too much on the note 3 and had it come through the phone. I cleaned what I could and the phone works perfectly so it hasn't seemed to hurt anything. Its a little expensive for the amount. I don’t recommend doing this yourself unless you have a heat gun, uv light, infrared thermometer, and some skill.

Did not cure.
It never hardened, so the touch screen was not working properly after. I left it under the light and kept it close for a long time even though most instructions say that only a few minutes are needed.I ripped off the newly installed screen and confirmed that the glue was not cured. It basically ruined by phone and wasted my time.I did buy it over a year ago and kept it in a drawer, I don't know if that was a factor.

but when a Polymer Chemist friend of mine told me that it should cure fine in direct sunlight
I was a little worried when I realized that I don't have access to a UV light, but when a Polymer Chemist friend of mine told me that it should cure fine in direct sunlight, I decided to give it a try.After setting the new glass down a bit too quickly (oops), I found several bubbles in the glue. This was quickly remedied by rubbing the glass to work the bubbles off of the screen area. Even the bubbles that were in the direct center of the glass worked right out quickly!I then put the phone in direct sunlight for about 2 hours; and -- voila! The LOCA had cured perfectly.My one mistake in the process was to not check on the bubbles right after I worked them off the screen. One TINY bubble worked its way back onto the edge of the screen without my notice, and by the time I noticed it, the cure had begun to the point where I can't move it any more. This is of course nearly an unnoticeable problem -- you have to look VERY hard to notice the bubble under the glass.One other note -- my Chemist friend indicated that the season, and your location on the planet will affect the amount of UV that you get; which will affect the cure time. I am in early Spring in Northern Illinois, and was lucky to have a day with FULL sun. 2 hours of that was enough to cure it perfectly.For me, I WON'T be putting a screen protector back on my phone -- I'll just replace the glass again if I ever drop it! The total cost (with glue & screen) was about $16 -- less than most screen protectors.I'm a believer!

It works fine, but honestly wastes a lot of product
It works fine, but honestly wastes a lot of product. When pushing down slowly, as possible, it all came out at once. I'm not sure if it was an air bubble or what. As far as the hold, it holds well. Definitely not an easy cleanup.

It Works!
I like this product - criticism - couldn't find anywhere just how much glue to use - they should include a list of phones maybe? ALSO don't push the plunger as you would normally - hold the shaft & 'slowly' apply the glue. I used it on a Note 3 & should probably have used only 2.5cc but the whole syringe went on - too much glue but what the hell it works apart from the front facing camera & sensors right next to it getting filled with glue so the camera is blurred out now & the proximity/light sensors don't work.I cured the glue in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. Probably not a great idea but it worked like a charm.

Glue is great, the syringe is terrible.
Pros: Glue itself works great and the plastic razor things are very handy for removing the previous LOCA (in combination with some sort of solvent of course... I liked GooGone best).Cons: HOWEVER, the glue syringe was very very hard to squeeze out evenly... I had one "spurt" where it stuck then came out way too fast. Then I tried twice as hard to keep this from happening again... and it happened again 30 seconds later. Just didn't seem to be a way to avoid it. The syringe would stop sliding, then no matter how gently I tried to push past it would shoot out glue in a huge glob. The result was too much glue, and I had excess coming out of the sides for a week after (this extra glue was behind the blacked out part of the screen and thus didn't cure with the UV light). This would also impact being able to do more than one phone. I just used an entire 3ml for one 5.7" screen, but should have used about 2ml if not for the shoddy syringe.PS I'm a biologist who regularly uses similar disposable plastic ~$1 syringes all the time. I can easily work one with one hand in pretty precise increments, so it's not like I have shaky hands or don't know how it's supposed to work...Anyway, I found a great cheap UV solution with this nail lamp, since people were complaining about the flashlight thing:https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01M3S1K7M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0?th=1

Works fine but its not like a brand new screen
Worked to repair my childs fire tablet. Screen is a little cloudy, probably cause I didn't really know what I was doing, but it works just fine and I don't have to replace it.
