    Why this didn't work for you?
    1) Once you add the Curing sheet on top the screen, you were supposed to use a flat item to press it against the screen to ensure no bubbles form between the sheet and the screen. ( exactly like how you would put on a screen protector ). Doing this creates a pocket of air that is identical to the crack and the liquid you place on top of the crack will now be forced into the crack upon the next steps.
    2) While the screen curing sheet is on the screen, you now must use a little bit of your finger pressure to put a small amount of flex on the screen... but not too hard. This ensures the resin goes deep in the crack.
    3) You then will need a little suction cup to put over the curing strip and give a slight pulling action to. this flex the screen in the opposite direction as the last step. keep looking at your crack, after a few very light pulls, the resin should have filled the cracks and
    they should be gone.
    4) take your time to ensure you penetrate the crack (s). Most people think you have a small window of time to deal with the resin but that is not the case at all. As long as you are not fixing your phone screen in the sunlight, you have all the time you need to ensure these cracks disappear. Take your time with this and frequently look at your screen from various perspectives to ensure no cracks can be seen from any angle.
    5) When you can no longer see any cracks, take off the suction cup and use a UV Light to cure the resin. Do not use the sunlight as it will take too long to cure. You can find cheep USB UV lights on ebay for 3 to 5 dollars. Depending on the power of the UV light and resin sensitivity to UV, it could take from 2 minutes to 10 minutes to cure.
    6) Scrape off the excess resin with a razor-blade. The cracks should be gone and the screen should feel smooth to the touch again. Once you see how new your screen looks, you will definitely want to add a screen protector.
    I've fixed so many phone screens using windshield resin that its not even funny. And if your phone has gorilla glass, the end result is even better. Hope this helps.

    The reason this didn't work is because the resin doesn't have anything to hold itself onto in the same way it would when it is injected into a rock chip on a windshield.
    A rock chipped windshield will have area inside the glass for the resin to flow into and anchor itself.
    What may work is a fast curing glass glue, but you have to test it out on glass first to know the hardening time frame. The idea would be to pour it onto the crack on the screen in a way where the opening is pointing towards the crack so it gets pushed into the crack/scratch itself, then the key is to know when it is in a jell form before hardening to have a clean cut with a blade.
    Now, this is just an idea, but it's the best I could come up with since I too have tried resins and epoxy as well, but to no avail.

    You need to take the razor blade at a 90 degree angle scrubbing back and forth. By angling it, you’re pealing it up.

    Yes follow the directions and use the suction cup device it pushes the air out so the cracks line up riht

    Now I have never played with this resin before but what I think I will end up trying on my phone after I drove over it with my tractor is I'm thinking about finding a role of wide clear Gorilla Tape and seeing if I can lay that down over some liquid resin without getting any air bubbles trapped in there. I might have to make a couple pin holes to let out air and excess resin to the outside of the tape but the plan would be to get the tape on over the liquid resin and make sure all the air is out and make sure there's not an excess of resin where it don't belong and then just leave the tape on it forever and see if the resin can minimize light refraction in the cracks

    I tried this with the same resin plus a screen protector and although it did help, the cracks were still quite obvious, but at least It worked well enough, to not cause any cuts and helped make my phone usable for a few extra months. (Replacement screens didn't exist for my old Motorola phone 😢)

    Hi Joe, seems like the scratch isn't deep enough to fill and it is super shiny.

      Yes. Peeling the resin up the way he does will indeed pull it out of the stratch. scraping it off with a vertical blade lets the part in the scratch stay in place. I had the same 'peeling off' issue on a car windscreen, but re-did it with more pressure on the razor blade to push resin into the divot, then scraped with the blade at 90 degrees after it had set properly and got a very good result eventually. I reckon this should work well if done right.
