Anyone deal with these UV glue tempered-glass screen protectors?

[unknown]

I always make sure to have a "9H" tempered glass screen protector on my phone/s.

With the exception of 1 occasion (the impact was right on the edge), they must have saved my screen atleast 10 times.

But now the "full glue" versions (as opposed to the adhesive being just on the edges), are becoming a lot more difficult to find.

These UV glue protectors are becoming the norm.

So I tried it out, the goddam glue went all over the place, ran down the top, bottom and the sides.

Looks like I dont have much of a choice but to reorder these UV glue versions.

My only thought is that next time, to use less glue, which means it wont bond as well and will allow dust to get under the screen...

And can any UV light work to cure the glue?

I'm thinking that if I have to start dealing with these goddam self apply screen protectors, why deal with the tiny plug in USB

Been a few years, but here was my method... You should have a uv flashlight (small/focused is actually better, giving more control) They are cheap and usually come with the protector.

1. Make sure you have a dust free, level, working surface to place the device on. I literally leveled my desk for this task.
2. Clean the hell out of the device, and mask it carefully to prep. I used denatured alcohol and a micro cloth.
Tape all edges, speakers, and mic holes... pretty much anywhere you don't want adhesive should be carefully/tightly masked. Make sure tape edges are adhering.
3. Put a tape tab (grab handle) in the center of the protector - like a kettle lid, to alleviate the need to manipulate the edges
4. Drip the entire contents of the vial as a 1" elongated blob in the middle of the screen
5. Using the "handle" you made with the tape tab in step 2, set the protector on the blob - take your time, keep alignment, and do not press down
6. Hands off, let gravity do its thing, and slightly tilt the phone should you need to influence adhesive flow - dont over compensate!
7. Once the adhesive has flowed to all edges, and there are no bubbles, fuse the center by curing the center portion with the uv flashlight
8. With the center fused, you are free to use alcohol and paper towels to clean up the overflow on the masking tape (dont disturb the screen, take your time)
9. Now cure the entire protector using a grid pattern of exposure. Again, take your time, each pass will take 20-30 seconds.
10. With everything cured, you can remove the masking tape. I'm sure the sun can be used to cure further, but mine held fast - whole process took me 20-30 minutes (about the duration of the RP Liberty Report)

Good luck
