I’m using the ifixit adhesive mask: IF356-018-1 Google Pixel XL Display Adhesive I followed the directions: after assembly I heated the screen with my heat gun and weighted it down under a giant pile of books for more than 30 minutes (actually, 3+ hours). Everything looked great, so I started updating the phone, and it got warm during these updates… and I noticed the screen had risen up! So now I have the device back under a pile of books. How long does it take the adhesive to cure/dry? I dont want the screen coming off if the device gets warm or I leave it sitting in the sun…
Hi @cvintage When the screen starts lifting, are you able to freely lift it up further? Is it still stuck to the frame for the most part with only one corner lifting? Freely lifting means the adhesive kit was either defective or not installed properly and will eventually lead to the screen lifting off completely. Partial lifting with a solid seal everywhere else means that something is pushing the screen off from the inside… such as leftover adhesive, pieces of glass, cables in the way, etc. Either way, its worth removing the screen completely at this point to see which issue you’re having. In my experience, proper replacement adhesive will stick permanently within 30 minutes. It may also help to clean the frame with 99% alcohol and let it dry completely before installing more fresh adhesive (don’t use too much though or that foam will rip up and go everywhere)
Heat it up, then place it under some books. Around an hour should be fine. When you take the phone out make sure it has cooled down.
30 mins to an hour clamp that screen down but try not to flex digi and put pressure on lcd
